Question Home-Made Instruments

Recently I've taken an interest in instrumentation that bypasses the typical outlet for musical expression -- professionally designed instruments (( really, hearing the resonance of a big water jug, I wonder why anyone buys drums )).

If anyone has any recordings they'd like to share that feature custom, home-made, or found object instruments, list them here. Most recently, I suppose the recordings of animist orchestra fit most closely to this concept, but I'd like to find some more examples.

By the way, "Stomp" doesn't qualify as a response.

Orbitones, Spoon Harps & Bellowphones

I have this compolation and it is quite good and features a lot of what you are talking about.

Also there is another cd made by the same company that made this disc that I forget the name of but it has more good stuff.

Hope that helps.

(I know stomp is on here, but there is much more more interesting stuff)

Give a listen to Cooper-Moore. He uses home-made instruments for his studio recordings and live performances.

His recording from this year (The Beautiful) will make it somewhere on my 2005 list.

I've been meaning to pick up his recordings with Assif Tsahar; your recommendation will get me moving on that.

Pink Floyd once tried to make an album only made up of household object noises, around the period that they made Animals, I believe. It never came together, much to the dismay of old Roger Waters.

I have a feeling you have some mp3s of your own ''Home-Made Instruments'' experiments. Could you upload some if so?
