In this video, Onoue plays his handmade ribbon controller. It can change a oscillator pitch smoothly, depending on the place which you press down. It was originally made as a kind of MOOG SYNTHESIZER's controller in late 60's. I made this following its example. And playing style is self-taught.
Taneishi plays the 5 strings bass with E-Bow. E-Bow is moved by the electromagnetic field created by the device, producing a sound reminiscent of using a bow on the strings, instead of having the strings hit by the fingers or a pick.
