On Saturday I played with the Ball State Electroacoustic Ensemble. We premiered my new piece "Shape Shifting 2: Ensemble in Three Parts". I played a couple of my homemade instruments.

Cigar box guitar lying flat on a small table with a graphic score and some small things like guitar slides and E-bow. Guitar pedals under the table. In the foreground a 2-string bass made out of a long canoe paddle. Guitar amp on the left. A computer sitting on a stand, displaying a stopwatch. Everything is on a wooden stage, and there are audience seats in the background, with a few people in the distance near a mixing board.

From a five-track album of improvisations I recorded in the 1990's in California: small incoherent fragments coalesce into a spiral of chaos.

Nicolas Bras tiene un vídeo explicando cómo fabricar este "violín". Su canal es lo más mejor. Se dedica a inventar o recrear instrumentos de todo tipo, os lo recomiendo mucho.
