Title: Diego Stocco - Music from a Tree
Added: Jul 22, 2009
Author: DSSessionVideos
Duration: 2:55
Description:
In the garden of my house there's a tree with lots of randomly grown twigs. It looks odd and nice at the same time. One day I asked myself if I could create a piece of music with it.To tune the tree I picked a fundamental note and tuned the twigs by trimming them with a pencil sharpener. I used two Røde NT6 and a NTG-2 as microphones, combined with a customized stethoscope.I recorded the tracks live on a Pro Tools LE system. I didn't use any synthesizer or sampler to create or modify the sounds. All the sounds come from playing the tree, by bowing the twigs, shaking the leaves, playing rhythms on the cortex and so on.At this link you can see some pictures with more detailed descriptions: behance.net/Gallery/Music-from-a-Tree/263872I hope you'll like it.The track is also available as an high-quality download on my Bandcamp page: diegostocco.bandcamp.com/track/music-from-a-tree

Oct 30, 2011 - This is really impressive; not just from a musical perspective but from a technical one also! Really inspiring sound design that most sound engineers wouldn't dream of doing. Just goes to show that music is subjective and can be made from anything! :D

Oct 30, 2011 - Not for this piece, the idea is to play only the notes that I can get out of the tree. There's no sampling involved here.

Apr 17, 2012 - Quick question Diego, do you record with a click track? And, where are you from? I'm coming up with a project kind of like the one in your video for one of my audio classes and our professor showed us one of your vids, I became an instant fan! Keep it up.
