Squijeeblion



Leonard Solomon has made a career out of building and performing on his own musical instruments. In this video, he recreates Skrillex's 2010 song "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" on his instrument called a squijeeblion. It produces sounds that range from a nice melody to a foghorn fart to a crying beagle. EDM will never be the same, although you can't really call it that, since this song was played with no MIDI and the squijeeblion is powered by air, with both breath and bellows. (via Metafilter)

  1. That was fun, it looks like a variation of the pipe organ with air from foot pedals plus some added sound effects from other dedicated air sources.
    Sounded real nice though.

  2. There, but for the lack of a musical ear, a shed, and Jobby patience, go I.
