Youtube Video of the Day

I have a bit of an obsession with videos that feature music made with non-musical instruments. Tan Dun partially sparked this with his concerto for paper.

But this one is far more fun, since it uses only the sounds of tools being struck and used.

Screenshot from said video.

There's something innately satisfying about listening to these types of videos. I love the raw percussive impact, and it is proof that instruments are in the eye of the concert-goer.

This is why Stomp is so beloved. Here's some more examples of my favorite non-standard instruments achieving great things:

~How about a guy that plays the melody of a Mozart Symphony with rollerblades and wine bottles?
~Or one who plays Mozart on Root Beer Bottles? Granted, this one is heavily edited, but the work that went into it is astonishing, and the result is purely awesome.
~Or insanity on crystal glasses? I can barely get one to sound, let alone an entire tableful!

Musical Quotation.

Singing is like a celebration of oxygen.
