Happy & healthy 2012! We (Boukor & Jeroen) start off this year with, as can be read in the blog post subject, “Unusual musical instruments”. A bit strange for Edge to call something “unusual”, but when many of the recordings of obscure instruments are limited to lofi recordings – this indicates they are not yet added to the mainstream instrumentarium or are currently gaining more popularity.
In the playlist below I added the odd instrument between brackets. Enjoy!
