Eco Factor: Eco-artist creates music from trees.

Who says good music can only be generated by extraordinary instruments? Music is an art and needs an artistic mind to produce it. While creating music is concerned we’ve seen several ingenious minds that do it using the best of instruments and some that just need trash for the same purpose. Eco-artist Diego Stocco has a different mindset and his strategy to create good music doesn’t rest on expensive instruments as well. Diego creates music using a tree, its oddly grown twigs and leaf-laden branches.

Diego picks up a fundamental note and tunes the twigs by trimming them with a pencil sharpener. His instruments include two Røde NT6 and a NTG-2 as microphones, combined with a customized stethoscope. The tracks are recorded live on a Pro Tools LE system. Diego claims that he didn’t use any synthesizer or sampler to create or modify the sounds.

All sounds come from playing the tree, blowing the twigs, shaking the leaves and playing rhythmic sounds on the cortex and so on. Check out the video below to see the artist in action, generating mind blowing music on nothing other than a simple tree.
