The notion of DIY music stretches back to 19th-century flutes made from bird bone, through punk anarchy and the digital revolution. From cave tunes to thrash punk, country blues to the early days of hip-hop, the urge to make music, using whatever is at hand, is a constant in human behavior. Percussion instruments created from stones, sticks, rocks and logs ? cut in different shapes and designs to change the quality and pitch of sound ? were being made more than 165,000 years ago. And if you look around today, you?ll find DIY music everywhere.
