Finnfinnotus
Finnfinnotus YouTube video by Barry Guy - Topic

One of the most unlikely pieces on the Gudira album, but also my fav is for the Thai mouth organ, khaen, and flute. I love taking the khaen into new styles of music. youtu.be/JxmURdL45ZU?...

Daleun 다른,: Improvisation for kayageum 가야금, tanso 탄소, chi 지, changgo 장고, and electronics YouTube video by ZaDiscs

The way I play kayageum is quite different from its tradition. This is my music, not Korean music. I am interested in finding other voices on instruments, I know the tradition, and then purposely step outside of it. youtu.be/lsJPGVNEbo8?...

This brings up the very old discussion in musicology and especially in ethnomusicology circles, about the effectiveness of notational systems to represent music, as most are just approximations to various degrees, each with their attributes, and challenges.

A friend from China just sent this vid of a Chinese jaw harp duo on a set of three bamboo jaw harps each. I own a set like these from the Yi people.
