I have become partial to the Carnyx.
It has NOT come from the subconscious, but it does stir it.
Quote:
The carnyx was a wind instrument of the Iron Age Celts, used between c. 200 BC and c. AD 200. It was a type of bronze trumpet with an elongated S shape, held so that the long straight central portion was vertical and the short mouthpiece end section and the much wider bell were horizontal in opposed directions.

Aproximate translation of the first 42 seconds:

"The romans said that the celtic carnyx stood out 3 meters above the persons in battle. That people scampered away terrified, that they entered a strange trance state because they didn't know that sound.
