Lirio Salvador, a native of the Philippines has created a number of experimental instruments based on his own concept of ethno-industrial art/music. Lirio says "It's all about the merging of my native oriental culture and the present industrial environment that is slowly corrupting my native land". He creates his assemblage of musical instruments using day to day materials that are found in his present environment, including bicycle gears, drain cleaning springs and stainless steel tubes.

"It's an attempt to integrate music, performance art, sculpture, and audio art, all into one". His band Elemento produces oriental industrial noises and experimental music using his own instruments that include strings, electronics, winds and percussion.
