Diego Stocco - Custom Built Orchestra from Diego Stocco on Vimeo.Ordinary musical instruments just don’t cut it for Diego Stocco. He’s a man who’s previously made music from a burning piano, a tree, bees and nuts, even some sand. And now he’s decided to create his own orchestra with some hand-built instruments in Custom Built Orchestra.Not only has he made the instruments, but he also plays each one. These hybrid musical tools include an Experiviolin, which has the body of a violin, the neck of an electric guitar, and acoustic guitar strings, an Experibass which uses a violin, viola, and cello neck and sticks them on the body of a double bass, a Luminopiano which uses pierced light bulbs with a microphone placed inside, even an electro-acoustic instrument which uses a tree branch he found on the street.The music he makes with this set is haunting and orchestral, and it’s almost hard to tell he’s using modified instrumentes, except at a few choice points when you hear something unusual.[via Vimeo]@stewart23rd
