Leonard Solomon has made a career out of building and performing on his own musical instruments. We've featured videos of his bottle organ and his oomphalapompatronium in previous video. In this video, he demonstrates that 21st century music, too, can easily be played on his weird instruments. Listen as he recreates Skrillex's 2010 song "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" on his instrument called a squijeeblion. It produces sounds that range from a nice melody to a foghorn fart to a crying beagle, and you better believe the bass drop is there, too. EDM will never be the same, although you can't really call it that, since this song was played with no MIDI involved. Also, the squijeeblion is powered by air, with both breath and bellows. Too bad you can't go down to the music shop and pick up your own squijeeblion. -via Metafilter, you'll find lots more of Solomon's music linked.
