Have you ever heard of an instrument called a squijeeblion? Neither did we, until we discovered this strange cover of Skrillex's “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites.”
The eccentric instrument was invented by Leonard Solomon, who performs the version himself. His YouTube channel features a variety of other covers played on whimsical homemade instruments.
The air-driven acoustic screech sounds like a mix of woodwinds, an organ, and a foghorn, but the “bass drop” was the most surprising sound of all. Recreating the dubstep classic with a quirky and whimsical twist, Solomon's squijeeblion version is a perfect tribute to the 2010 dubstep classic.
“This song always makes me smile and laugh when I listen to the original version,” he wrote on YouTube. “I hope my performance does something like that for you.”
