If you had any doubt that the internet could truly bring people together, or that technology could empower people for expression like never before, this is your answer. Music artist Kuniman mixed together clips of people from all over the world and all walks of life playing musical instruments and singing on YouTube, creating a freely available, epic eight-song music video album called ThruYOU, filled to the brim with personality and musical style.

The songs (which include video, of course) include clips that range from professional musicians to music store advertisements and regular people goofing off on instruments they don't even know how to play, but it all comes together in an impressive digital symphony. Credits with links to the source videos are included with each song / video. Everyone's bound to have a favorite, but we were particularly impressed with the third track ("I M New"), which blended hip hop and R&B vocals with classical and jazz instrumentation and more.

The artist is an Israeli man who goes by the name Kutinam. He has a MySpace page featuring his more traditional work if you want to learn more about him.
