The Singing stones-amazing I wouldn't believe it if I didn't hear it or see it.
Revolutionary doesn't even begin to do justice for this concept. It sounds like atonal violins. http://www.oddmusic.com/c...stones.mp3 
Singing Stones The instrument is created with 100 river rocks suspended by music wire from a wing-shaped sound box and hanging in a steep arch. The strings (vibrating longitudinally) release their music as the performers dance and, with rosin-covered gloves, stroke, caress, and tug the strings. Ela Lamblin and Leah Mann gathered resonant slate from the Cascade mountains, stones from the Pacific Ocean, and rocks from the Applegate River to create this breathtakingly beautiful combination of sculptural stone, delicate movement, and symphonic sound.
