Music From A Bonsai

| 27 de marzo de 2010 (17:33 h.)

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. To determine the key I used the lowest note I could play and recorded the rest around it. Besides playing the leaves, I used bows of different sizes, a piano hammer and a paint brush. As far as microphones I used my Røde NT6, a customized stethoscope and tiny MEAS piezo transducers.
