Diego Stocco - Music from Nature

“To celebrate Earth Day 2012 Burt’s Bees asked me to create a video performance in the style of my Music from a Tree.

To expand the concept I also included as “instruments” some of the ingredients used in their products, like honey, almonds, rice, and coconuts; also bees had a musical role in this piece.

I performed the whole composition by playing these natural elements, no synthesizers, samplers or additional sounds have been used.”

“Let’s start with the big bells, from Rabbit Ears Audio’s sixth release, which includes bells fabricated in all kinds of material and recorded with several positions and performances. That approach creates a fascinating gallery of sounds, including recordings with heavy attack, along others which feature takes with long tails, perfect for stretching, freezing, shimmering, cloud making, and all kind of drone-atmosphere making techniques. Let’s explore that.” via http://designingsound.org/2012/05/sfx-lab-4-resonance/
