Thanks :)

The lead is a watercan somewhat similar to this one:

but made of plastic. I 'played' it using a wet towel on the handle. 
This caused the partly water-filled body to resonate, an effect I 
discovered while cleaning the living room :)

There are some effects on it, but they don't alter the sound much. 
The wet signal is fed through a delay before the reverb to have a 
big room without muddying up the main signal. That's what it's 
supposed to achieve, at least :)

Everything else is made of samples from my Windows days, as this  
thing started as a Cubase session (without the can). Quite a number 
of effects on it, most notably several instances of an Auto Phaser.

The idea behind it was and is to make some kind of alien ethno 
music :)
