The Babel Table
The Babel Tabel, an instrument from Canadian musician and contemporary artists Jean-Francois Laporte, uses compressed air to power a series of latex membranes to produce a wide variety of noises, from deep percussive thrums, glitching electronic sounds, and organic, synthesizer-like swells. It snores, barks, screams, chirps, and more, with each of its strange elements handled independently by a series of articulate controls. It looks sort of like an elephant.
