Human beatbox, the art of pushing back the limits of vocal possibilities

Human voice is undoubtedly the cheapest musical instrument in the world : everyone is born with it, and can train and develop it to suit his or her own aesthetic needs. Beyond its communicative functions, the human vocal instrument is capable of producing a wide variety of sounds, and imitating all kinds of other musical instruments (e.g. percussion, trumpet, saxophone, harmonica, guitar). Among current artistic vocal practices, human beatboxing is at the forefront of exploiting the possibilities of the human vocal instrument.
