Not shakuhachi, but a tremendous bit of virtual virtuosity, not to mention an imagination to go with it. Bravo to the creator.

Hi Jeff,
I think that piece is from Animusic: http://www.animusic.com/
I've always loved that kind of animation...

Not quite as technological, is this what they call "industrial"?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFybwg4wadI
Over a million views in a month and nobody even had to do anything stupid like riding a bike off a roof or anything, nice work!

These guys may be spending to much time in their cars. This is the sort of thing that happens when teenagers aren't comfortable at home.

Since when, in the history of the universe, has a teenager ever been comfortable at home?

When their parents were out of town, of course!

Oh, I don't know. It was a good place to nap after a long hard day at school ... smoking.

You make a pretty solid point there Ed'o but still, there must have been a few. They're probably the guys who stayed home, did their homework and are now quite successful. Certainly not me or any of my friends. Maybe that's part of the appeal of shakuhachi---it was the furthest thing from home I could get into.

Imaginative and detailed. My friends who play percussion dig it. But they are always using the imagination to find some new way to hit something and make a noise.

Re: imagine it
I saw that 3d instrument short film back in the mid 90's on tv. I think the concept still holds up to the test of time but the ray tracer and textures really date it. The car recording was funny, I have heard songs that are similar to it but I have never seen it performed.

Now do my eyes deceive me or were those some abnormally thick frets on that guitar. I wonder if he goes with big high frets and then has lower action by playing them worn down. Do those frets look big to you, Ed?

Those are normal sized frets for that type of guitar. The reason it needs a fret job is that there are big grooves worn into the frets on the treble
side of the fingerboard from about fret 9 or so on down to the nut. Very common situation with hard-working musicians, it's just weird to see
such an accomplished musician who has such neat hand-made guitars (that wasn't one of them) with such worn frets.
They work much better without those grooves
