[Rumori] music from a tree

"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."

Nice.
