Sound tekkies

Sometimes you'll run into the most horrible backalleys of internet. And sometimes you'll find you like it. Just yesterday I registered an account in a small community for sound technicians and ran into a thread about Really Strange Instruments. Enter the Daxophone, by Hans Reichel. Reichel is a wicked jazz musician and probably also a quite skilled Flash programmer. His website is far out.

For more wacko sounds, check out this two-album collection of psychadelix, with foreword of no less than Tom Waits.

From the vending site:
"Gravikords, Whirlies and Pyrophones:
Experimental Musical Instruments by Bart Hopkin - Foreword by Tom Waits
See below to purchase this book and CD or its companion volume
Orbitones, Spoonharps and Bellowphones"

It kinda tells its own story.
