Diego Stocco – Music From A Bonsai

I always liked bonsai trees, and I was curious to try the approach I used for "Music from a Tree" on a smaller scale, so I bought a bonsai and recorded this little experimental piece.<br />
<br />
To determine the key I used the lowest note I could play and recorded the rest around it. <br />
Besides playing the leaves, I used bows of different sizes, a piano hammer and a paint brush. <br />
As far as microphones I used my Røde NT6, a customized stethoscope and tiny MEAS piezo transducers.<br />
<br />
I played all the sounds and rhythms only with the bonsai, I didn't use any synthesizer or samplers to create or modify the sounds. I hope you'll like it.<br />
