And then, there was a dragon egg in my armchair!
This is the Ova by StoneWhistle. Essentially it's a very low bass #ocarina, and I mean LOW as in 65Hz or C2. It's also a percussion #instrument similar to the udu or ghatam, or both at the same time even. The decoration is terra sigillata and some cleverness involving blowing bubbles onto the surface (please help me describe that for the alt text). I'll write some more about it later, including audio; y'know, once I've spent some time with it.

An evocative improvisation "the sacred wings" by by Olena Uutai on #flute, voice, khomus (jawharp) and electronica, including various bird calls. Uutai has been playing the khomus, the national #instrument of Sakha (formerly Yakutia), since she was 7.
"Soundful and precious to our hearts, with the shivering tongue, with the iron stick dinging like a string, making a hundred various sounds." (sakhan poem about the khomus)

Absolutely mesmerising!
Madhuvanti Pal with a full ddhrupad instrumental performance in rāg yaman on the Rudra veena. Beginning her Hindustani classical #music journey on the violin and bansuri she eventually felt drawn to the large and rare Rudra veena. After struggling with her first #instrument, she decided to study with a master builder and learn how to make her own. And the one she plays here very skilfully sounds truly amazing!

The ramkie, AKA blik kitaar or oilcan #guitar is an #instrument from South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Malawi. First mentioned in 1730 among the Khoekhoe, it derives from a lute, possibly the nanthuni, brought to the Cape by slaves from Malabar, southwestern India. Originally it had a gourd body, which later was replaced with an oilcan or similar. The name ramkie likely derives from the Portuguese rabaquinha (little violin).

Whenever I am at my friend's recording studio, I end up taking more pictures of this Hammond B3 organ, Its sound is so important to modern music and its somewhat antiquated look just begs for a photograph. -- Douglas
