Music From A Bonsai

Good afternoon,

Recently, Vimeo has started sending out quasi-daily emails with the three newest videos in my inbox. I’m not sure what my Vimeo inbox is, or how videos get there, but nonetheless there it is. This was one of the videos the other day that I found completely interesting. It combines several of my interests together in one. Music, multi-track video and audio editing, Japanese bonsai, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like the MacBook Pro you see at one point. Happy

This video is Diego Stocco using a variety of microphones and tools to create music on a bonsai tree. As you can see, the final audio track was created over many takes, one “instrument” at a time. In the description and comments, Diego says that this was neither scripted nor synthesized in any way; each take was improvised and added onto the previous tracks.

Here is Music From A Bonsai by Diego Stocco.
