Unique instrument playing?

Post by **SpongeBuell** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 12:19 am

Hey all,

While watching some YouTube et al with friends, a few examples of unique instrument playing came up. This stuff has always intrigued me, so I figured I'd put up a few links to share, and see if you guys have some that you know of that's similar.

Violin: (this stuff can be really awesome if done right)
MJ Violin. I'm not sure what songs these are, but they're recognizable. Even if you don't recognize it, it's still pretty cool stuff.
Nuttin But Stringz. I've listened to these guys for a while, and this is definitely their best song. I'm really hoping to catch these guys on the road on their tour, even if it means I have to buy a plane ticket somewhere.

Tuba:
Fnugg Blue. very catchy... 1:20 is good, 1:50 is even better. If you like the other videos, it'd be worth watching the whole thing through. Keep in mind, a lot of the time when it sounds like there is another tuba in the background, it's really the same one. Of course, sometimes there's obviously some background instruments, but sometimes there isn't.

Flute:
Beatboxing Flute - Super Mario Brothers. Cool stuff, he has several songs that you're bound to be familiar with

I'm hoping to get a video up of me playing some Mario stuff on tenor sax, but my tenor is in the shop now. I'm not sure if it's really unique playing though... I mean, I learn it all by ear and I'm been playing for about a month! (I've been playing clarinet for 7 years now, and they're sort of similar. The tenor is like a big metal clarinet. Sort of)

I have a video of me playing a country-ish version of Super Mario Land, I guess that's sort of unique.

I used Adobe Premiere Pro.

Yeah, contrabass anything is bound to be hilarious. Contrabass flute? Yup. It's hilarious.

This may not be what your all talking about, but anybody here heard of Adam F? he's a Drum n Bass artist from England, but before you let that put you off, his songs contain a diverse amount of instruments bringing something extra to his music including violins, pianos.. anything you can think of really.. all played by himself and eventually mixed together.

Anybody here who can appreicate something of the sort I suggest you check him out.

I have always wanted to make an electric triangle... Hook up a guitar reciever to a stabilized edge or two, and make some awesome music.
