I find the work of Andre Michelle really inspiring. I was first introduced to him when I came across Tone Matrix over a year ago. It is very similar to Yamaha’s Tenori-On. It’s really addictive to play with and the sounds it creates are really nice.

His new audio toy Pulsate is really simple and brilliant. Play them both on aM laboratory.

I am always amazed by what amazing things people create out of lego. I recently came across this lego cello created by artist Nathan Sawaya. The video below shows the construction of the cello.

More of Nathan’s creations can be seen on his site

Another interesting lego instrument, a harpsichord, made by another artist Henry Lim, who makes large scale Lego sculptures.

An mp3 of the Harpsichord can be heard here. More of Henry Lim’s work can be found on his site.
