"Still Life" by Yuichi Onoue(尾上祐一) on the Kaisatsuko(回擦胡)

"Still Life"
composed and performed by Yuichi Onoue
with his handmade musical instruments "Kaisatsuko(回擦胡)".

"Kaisatsuko" is an electric two strings upright fiddle. But it is not performed with a bow. The rotating wheel (which is rotated by my handling) rubs strings and makes sound like Hurdy-Gurdy.

See here for detail about Kaisatsuko.

This is absolutely mind blowing. Genius .

amazing!!!!

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

I like the fretless nature of the instrument and how slightly "off" notes add to its unique sound. Sort of reminds me of the Gizmo designed by Godley & Creme. Great job & great composition, too! ~Jon

I still listen to this several times a month. True music genius.
