merging folk and electronica

I've been thinking a lot about strange hybridizations and juxtapositions that might be possible with acoustic instruments.  Here is a uke guy who does some amazing electronica sounds with his (pretty high end acoustic electric) uke. It's quite amazing. The acoustic pickup can be used in essentially infinite ways to make sounds that are the same as analog synths. So this is one angle on the idea of producing modern sounds with roots instruments.  There are other angles, such as doing covers of electronica music on all acoustic instruments, which would appropriate the song into a different sound genre.
