Russolo's Intonarumori
From Makezine blog:
In 1913, Italian painter and composer Luigi Russolo created a new type of musical instruments he dubbed the "Intonarumori", or "noise intoners". The sounds produced by these devices were definitely unusual for his era and you'd be hard pressed to find anything similar to it today.
Sadly, none of Russolo's intoners survived WWII, but new versions have been built using the original schematics. In fact, NYC's Performa festival featured an evening of intonarumori music.
