Electric hurdy gurdy
I recently had the pleasure of hearing Guilhem Desq perform live.
Here is an example of the amazing sounds he can produce.
And here is a much softer song, about a dragonfly falling in love with a tree.
What is nice about the videos is that they show the complexity of the instrument, which has a dragon on one side.
You can listen to more of his songs from the soundcloud addon on his website.
