To tune the tree I picked a fundamental note and tuned the twigs by trimming them with a pencil sharpener. I used ...

DiegoStocco - Bassoforte
Few days ago I started thinking about how I could re-purpose the keyboard of the dismantled piano I keep in the garden, so I thought to build a new instrument by combining it with some other parts I had laying around.

Diego Stocco - Music from a Bonsai
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.

Diego Stocco - Dustland
"Dustland" is a cinematic sounding improv that I recorded with the Fence Bass. This instrument has a rough and edgy sound since it's all made of metal, so I imagined a piece that could work in a modern Western film, I'm a fan of the genre. Everything is created in real time, no pre-existing loops...
