The seismic FaceBass with Didjeribone is also pretty awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkCRlVkKOqw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkCRlVkKOqw

You all probably know about this one, as it came out a couple of years ago, but I still think its one of the best. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWROdOMAoKQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWROdOMAoKQ

If the future sounds like that I'm going to weep.

I don't know about the new part of it, Jean-Luc Ponty has been fiddling with electricity since since the late-60's. For some examples and maybe early '80's hair see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKkMvBvyqvE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKkMvBvyqvE (violin starts around 1:15), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk3ffGs40VY&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk3ffGs40VY&feature=playe.... Plenty of other examples are out there, some of it wears well. For more recent stuff, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_T9adkdBhY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_T9adkdBhY. I have good memories of reading the whole Chronicles of Narnia to the album "Imaginary Voyage": http://www.amazon.com/Imaginary-Voyage-Jean-Luc-Ponty/dp/B000002I93 http://www.amazon.com/Imaginary-Voyage-Jean-Luc-Ponty/dp/B00...

This seems like a good opportunity to plug my friend Felix's Machines. A weird collection of music making machines that remove the human from performance. Check them out here: http://felixsmachines.com/ http://felixsmachines.com/ Don't miss the very cool video here: http://felixsmachines.com/video/ http://felixsmachines.com/video/ There are some more slightly more amateur videos of the machines on Youtube as well. There's also a video of Felix's TED talk coming out soon. And some albums next year I think...

http://www.electrickazoo.com/ http://www.electrickazoo.com/ Now that's a modern instrument. It's actually incredibly fun to play, and can be useful in a mix with the right effects.
