If you're talking about percussion & such, try Google-ing
something along the lines of Native American instruments or
Native American percussion... I recorded a Native American
artist called Knifewing years ago, and - this is kinda weird, a
total dichotomy in a way - we looped recordings he had made of
tribal Shaman chants & percussion, etc. His recordings (and
they were on cassette, but they were pretty clean) were of
people playing instruments consisting of a turtle shell with
beads inside it, a gourd with dried peas inside, a wooden box
with deer ligaments stretched over a rudimetary soundhole...
pretty cool! We looped 'em using a TC-2290 for stuff that worked
better mono (we had the 7-second sampling option on that unit),
and also using a 2-track 1/4" for the stuff that really needed
to be stereo the old-fashioned way (using a pencil to tension
the outside of the loop lol!). Ancient sound-generating
techniques, looped by 20th-century technologies! lol
Anyway, it's a really natural, mellow/etherial sound if you can
look up & use those kind of materials... some of it might be
hard to find (turtle shells), and some if it will take some
preparation.... ok, so you didn't say "easy-to-make" homemade
instruments.
Seriously, look into it... might be interesting to you,
depending on the style of sound you're going for.
