After searching through dozens of videos I actually find a video with some actually new, actually original, cool instruments. I especially love Koko’s instruments (first guy)

[Ruben_Pozo]

One of the best videos I've watched on YouTube.

The creators of these wonderful instruments, you can tell their passion and adoration for their work.
Some more detailed with their instrument explanations than others, but that does not take away from the care and love they put into their instruments.
It's always delightful to see individuals who are strongly passionate about the things they make, no matter the materials, no matter the look, all of it is a work of art, and I am glad a spotlight was given to showcase such works!
and at the end when they all communicate together, answering the same question while also just having a conversation as they're all like minded people, it's so human, in an otherwise what's usually perceived as lifeless bubble due to the electronic aspect. couldn't be any further from the truth that.

I didn’t pay close attention to their names at the beginning, and about halfway through the second guy, I was thinking “oh this guys stuff is just like that guy geese geeskee or however it’s pronounced. Turns out it IS him! His work is legendary in my mind but I’ve never even seen a photo of him. Humble genius!

This is one of the most creative videos in terms of thinking and perception. Thank you for sharing this!

great stuff, i would have a perma-smile if i was in the audience. i have a rain maker and plonk that can model a lot of these sounds, but the real world dynamics of physical devices is amazing.

My favorite part of this is that all these beautiful lil nerds were up there on a stage, poking their weird contraptions going “uhh and then the sand and the laser..” while an audience watched in fascination.
I fcking love inventors 😂 incredible

[SONGSTICKS]

Fantastic and very inspiring for my own experiments. Loads of ideas to be had from this 😊

[gnuPirate]

Amazing work and creativity. I'm amazed. Thanks for this ableton, and to the artists.

Oh, that vibrato on the laptop keyboard sounds incredible!)))

[pawelschmidt]

@7:15 is there any sort of scematic available to rebuilt it? Not sure how he implemented the mouse sensor to make it work.

[AldyWaani]

the first dude’s work was pretty impressive

[patcupo]

Bowing a laptop and playing The Swan ... what a time to be alive.

[Inputsignwave]

KoKa’s web link on this vid goes to a chimney company? Feel like there’s a mistake there. He’s amazing. ❤

[tonystephen]

getting all kinds of inspiration - very cool.

[MariaJose-]

At 10:06 I want to know how to make that instrument

[SocietateaAscendenta]

WOW! So inspiring! On all those Snobs who imply that you Need expensive plugins to make that "organic" Music: shut up, grab a bucket and a hammer and finally start making good Music!

[antfactor]

Such fun/fabulousness. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

[ageshero]

Ah, this is cool, but I’m confused. Are these items we can purchase in the near future? Lol

[jedgould]

Wow. Love it all. Building little toys to make those incredible sounds. I wish I had the time. Then there’s 🎣Alice, bless her heart, ruined a perfectly good cello to get those particular sounds.
