Bob Log III and his amazing helmet!

How does a guy come up with this concept?
I took this picture at a concert the other day. I read about this act, appearing on my favorite venue in STHLM, Södra Teatern, featuring a guy playing on his helmet. I pictured someone hitting himself with drumsticks or something. Also, the entrance was free, so what the heck. Let me tell you, I was in for a surprise...

Bob enters the room...
A bit delayed, suddenly the sound of a regular sound check fills the bar. But there is no one on stage? Everyone starts gathering around, when Bob to everyones surprise enters from behind, through the crowd, playing with a wireless (yeaha) transmitter, and with his helmet on.

What IS that helmet anyway?
Looking like an old MC-helmet, with silver flakes in the paint job and a smoke colored visor, Bob has created a complete instrument. In the visor, and this took a while to notice, he as actually mounted an old phone, which looks like a trunk and doubles as a mic. The spiral cord goes over his shoulder, and gives him a very unique sound, to say the least.

This clip should give you a hint on what the concert was like...
