Here's another Andy Akiho piece, this one for full steel band. It's fascinating because of the way he completely re-thinks the steel band - each pan becomes not just a melodic instrument, as the West Indian tradition has used it, but a small self-contained percussion ensemble, capable not just of producing dulcet tones, but harsh clatters and bangs. On top of that, the pitched material is harmonically wide-ranging, not conventionally melodic, but there's a power and intensity to it that's hard to achieve with any instrumentation. The result is almost a sort of RIO steel band.

Hi again,
Two other possibilities from my Bandcamp purchase library (the latter of which I haven't really heard in detail yet):

- Lição #2: Dorival by Quartabê
Cheers,

Not sure they exactly fit the description in the OP (they don't use nonstandard instruments), but may be worth a listen.
