Very good point, Dirk. I'm not Hanuman, but I dare say that Hanuman's musical equivalents would probably be Lou Harrison (who died two or three weeks ago, IIRC) or Henry Partch. For those of you who don't know the latter: Partch wrote strange but always fascinating and usually beautiful music, exclusively for instruments he built himself.
