Unusual Sounds/Instruments A few folks became enamored of a video by Pete Drake...
...Forever That made me start looking for other videos that had strange or out of the ordinary sounds. I give you the Sonovox... ...You'll Find Out ...Alvino Rey - St. Louis Blues The Solovox (a small monophonic keyboard instrument made by Hammond) ...  A popular 60s tune it was used on was... ...Jimmy Gilmer & The Fireballs - Sugar Shack Looks like the Sonovox player didn't make the video shoot. Tuned Solid State Tesla Coils ...Super Mario Brothers Theme Glass Armonica... ...The History Channel Healing Music... ...Rhythmotomy Sections of this sound similar to the sounds Jimi Hendrix created on Moon Turn The Tides. More as time permits. Feel free to add your own. tA  Tribal Disorder

Trondheim Chamber Music Festival, Norway By Shirley Apthorp Published: October 1 2008 19:28 | Last updated: October 1 2008 19:28 My heart is pounding, my throat is dry, I’m pouring with sweat and close to the outer limits of physical exhaustion. I’ve never felt like this at a concert before. It could have something to do with the fact that I’m listening to this one from the saddle of an exercise bike. It takes somewhere as whacky as Trondheim, nestled on the edge of a Norwegian fjord, to come up with the idea of live experimental jazz in a fitness studio spinning class. Normally neither jazz nor fitness would tempt me out of a cosy hotel room on an autumn morning, but the combination proves an irresistible lure. That’s part of the secret of Trondheim’s consistently off-the-wall chamber music festival, an event that has found its niche on the international circuit by dint of resolutely being itself. Four days in Trondheim find me doing all sorts of things that would ordinarily never occur to me. Thus I have electrodes applied to the back of my head, so that a computer can turn the electrical currents in my brain into fractally generated piano music (Rolf Wallin’s installation “Feelings”), and I pant up a hill on a mountain bike to view Lasse Berre’s forest exhibition of Ethiopian photographs. Another event finds me standing in the rain in rapturous delight to watch Ole Hamre’s “Folkofon”, a VJ creation that “plays” film-clips of local citizens singing one note per head, amid sweeping arcs of light and puffs of artificial smoke on the former working docks. And I listen with spellbound attention as one of Scandinavia’s leading composers tells me a story about a man who escaped from the Nazis by turning into a salmon. Norwegian eccentric Rolf Wallin is this year’s composer-in-residence at the 13th Trondheim Chamber Music Festival (pictured above performing “Scratch”). He performs a solo involving a carving-knife and a balloon, and we listen to everything from a delicately constructed percussion concerto performed with style and class by Martin Grubinger and the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra to the world premiere of “Phonotope 5”, in which two women in white dresses perform acts that border on sado-masochism. Much of the joy of the festival, founded 13 years ago by young violinists Sigmund Tvete Vik and Vegar Snofugl, lies in the diversity of its programming. The focus is on new music, mixed genres and unusual combinations; the audience is young and engaged. This year also marks the 20th anniversary of the dynamic Trondheim Soloists, whose concert includes the world premiere of Fredrik Högberg’s “Silent Purpose” for chamber orchestra. Well worth the trip. www.kamfest.no Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2008 "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive."

That animated string instrument in the second clip kinda creeped me out.Yeah. I don't dig puppet/marionette type creatures anyway (think "Devil Doll") and that one's tres creepy. 
Going back to the Pete Drake video for a sec, the strata of strange there just won't quit. At around the 0:30 mark, check out the blonde lady to right of the sitting guitarist. Pay attention to her hands. WTF rhythm is she patting her hands to?
