    I want someone to assembly an orchestra with nothing but unusual and obscure instruments. Hang drums, singing bowls, hurdy-gurdies, didgeridoos, sitars, zithers, erhus, those Swiss horns, rain sticks, Aztec death whistles, gamelan, etc.

    • I imagine it would sound like a cross between a kindergarten music class and blue man groupscarabin
    • I’m sure that scene is already huge in GermanyGnash
    • You could call yourselves the Hare Krishnasmort_
    • I'd call it Cacophony, obviously. But there's nothing childish about those instruments.i_monk
    • I’d add singing saw and theramin to the mix. Could probably do these all with vst plugins in Cubase.monNom
    • I have an orchestral library plugin with all those instruments, use them often to fill out tracks. Easier than western orchestral scoring to get 'realistic'...kingsteven
    • Because noone's quite sure how they're meant to sound. I also own 5 zithers, plan was to start a band called 'king zither and the zither zither' before pandemickingsteven
