You should make a library of synths with all the sounds you have created.

These sound like instruments people in a broken world would make. A dystopia where life has been ruined, but they are trying to grow back, and it starts with music. They don't quite have all the proper materials to make instruments so they made their own, and these are the results. I love it.

[codascheuer]

Oh wow! As a composer, I just see a whole new world of colors and possibilities with these instruments. So fascinating!

[EduardoRohdeEras]

I'm wordless. Each instrument is a ticket to a far place, a new story never heard, an adventure through an unknown culture long in time. 👏

[boboloko]

Number 69, the drone low whistle, is my favorite. I’d like to see a full performance of just that instrument.

[randomexcessmemories]

I wish we could get longer videos on all of these instruments! I wanna hear each one played to its fullest extent!

[Nishye]

I had to constantly remind myself that I had already liked the video

Being able to "find the music" in each one of these instruments, bringing them all to life with interesting tones, while keeping them all sounding unique, is something really impressive. Your playing made each one of these beautiful

[six_twentythree]

You know, in one sense, all instruments were homemade until they were standardized. I bet it was a lot of this kind of stuff. Awesome!!

[sajithkumar]

My good God....the session was absolutely stunning to ears. Beyond Being a flutist, I personally enjoyed the string ones than the wind versions. This person here has ocean depth knowledge upon eastern and western type of music. He is a real gem for the music man.

[trnobles]

I am blown away.. Some of these sound really good!

[wayner]

A lot of these have a a really traditional and folksy vibe and sound to them. Absolutely love it

[Enmd]

Some of the most genuinely crisp and beautiful sounds I've ever heard in my life. Thank you for this.

[ashlynwanderer]

so many of these sound actually beautiful! I'm mostly in shock that you managed to make them all, and that you can actually play them all.

[davidb]

One of the most creative things I’ve seen in a long while.
I particularly appreciate how he figured out what music and style seem to work best with each instrument.

[DevonLadd]

A fun game i like to play is closing my eyes and trying to imagine what the instrument looks like XD
That ironing board guitar is nuts (0:41)

[matthewmathis]

Wow, that Tin Can Harp is beautiful!
And the Tin Can Cymbalum (3:19) sounds *awesome*!
I think you should be hired to do music for a western game, similar to Borderlands. Their music sounds similar to some of what I hear in your collection.

Pink Floyd made an album called "Household Objects", made entirely using household objects as instruments, they found this album way too difficult to finish, and abandoned it half way through, due to them not having good enough sounding instruments to complete it properly. Some of these instruments are good sounding, some sounded terrible, get some local decent musicians, you've got a bass, bicycle slide guitar, tea tray Kyoto, and make an album of pink floyd inspired covers, called "Household Objects Revisited", ? . Instant Youtube smash I think, 'if', the good musicians would put their name to it.

[aff]

I know these are all just screwing around, but the amount of sound understanding required to make a single one of these experiments work is mindblowing

[CorreaoFyrestarr]

These are weird, beautiful, and fantastic!
