[+] ballot by Felix
created Sat Oct 01, 05

Of all of the musical instruments invented by humanity, which one has the weirdest, most off the wall, or just odd sound to it? I thought of this ballot as I continue my ten years of work on my chamber music composition for two harpsichords and theremin.

harpsichord
theremin
sitar
glass harmonica
Ondes-Martenot
harmonica
Moog synthesizer
didgeridoo
bagpipes
Milk bottle - Wooooo! wooooo!

Two harsichords and a theremin eh? I'd like to hear that.
There's a clarinet type of instrument from the middle east, I don't know it's name though...very piercing and eerie.

um__yeah: could be a duduk, an instrument from Armenia. It's a double-reed, but it has a cylindrical bore, but it sounds like a clarinet. You could hear it the movie "The Last Temptation of Christ" (or Peter Gabriel's soundtrack at least), and the end of System of a Down's "Toxicity" album.

I meant "It's a double reed, but it has a cylindrical bore, SO it sounds like a clarinet".

There are variants of the instrument in Turkey, Iran and Azerbaijan, but I forget what names they're known as there.

I used to have that album by Gabriel...great music on there for sure. That and "Security" are two of my fave albums by him.

Here's a link to my "strange musical instrument" heehee...

Didgeridoos are those Australian things, no? Those long things that make that weird droning sound? They sound creepy to me.

"Didgeridoos are those Australian things, no?" Yes, you're on the mark.

Theremins are those weird sort of "sighing" and wavering electronic instruments that they used to create all of that eerie music in 1950's science fiction films, like "The Day the Earth Stood Still."
