Continuing down the experimental path, why not take it a step further with an instrument?

The Kaisatsuko (回擦胡, wheel-bowed fiddle) was invented by Onoue Yuichi (尾上祐一). The experimental instrument is a electric, two-string upright fiddle operated by a small crank. It is played by turning the crank — thus bowing the strings — and fingering the strings on the fretless neck. The concept of the Kaisatsuko is similar to that of a hurdy gurdy as is the sound of the droning strings.

It’s quite a clever instrument, a hybrid between an erhu and hurdy gurdy that sounds Indian. On his webiste’s intro, Onoue says:

I produce a little bit strange and odd music by means of various musical instruments (which include some handmade instruments) and computer programming and recording machine. I like both composing and improvising.

Watch Onoue perform “Within You Wihout You” by The Beatles on the Kaisatsuko:
