Track Description

"Is There Anybody Out There?" is a song from the Pink Floyd album, The Wall.
Music
The first half of the piece has the same concept of "Hey You", being a distress call from Pink. Musically, it's a droning bass synthesizer with various sound effects layered on top, and a repeating chorus of "Is there anybody out there?". The shrill siren-like sound effect used during this song is also used in an earlier Pink Floyd work, "Echoes". The noise was originally used as a sort of whale call for the deep-water-based "Echoes", and is created by David Gilmour using a wah-wah pedal with the cables reversed.
The second half of the song is an instrumental classical guitar solo. It is not widely known who played it: In several interviews, David Gilmour has said that he tried to perform it, and was not satisfied with the final result ("I could play it with a leather pick but couldn't play it properly fingerstyle"). Accordingly, session musician Joe DiBlasi was brought in by Michael Kamen to play with the rest of the orchestra. He was wrongly credited as "Ron DiBlasi" on the album sleeve and Pink Floyd website because Roger Waters only remembered that it was a three-letter name; Ron was the closest name he could remember to Joe when creating the record.
Plot
At this point in the plot, the bitter and alienated Pink is attempting to reach anybody outside of his self-built wall. The repeated question "Is there anybody out there?" suggests that no response is heard.
On the other hand, Comfortably Numb, some songs later in the album, starts with the sentence "Hello, Is there anybody in there?" addressed to Pink.
Film Version
In the film, during the ominous opening to the song, Pink is standing in front of the completed wall, and throws himself against it several times as if trying to escape. Then, during the acoustic guitar section, it cuts to Pink laying out all his possessions on the floor of the hotel room in neat piles. At the end of the song, it cuts to the bathroom where Pink shaves off his eyebrows and body hair, and tries to cut off his nipples with the razor, severing them.
