Music from a tree. A tree!

Electronic music has a long history of incorporating sounds from everyday life into music, but I think this piece is especially cool -- Diego Stocco made every sound in this video by playing a tree in his garden.

I found this video while reading DudeCraft, a blog written by Paul Overton, who, as it turns out, makes some pretty cool electronic music of his own. 

I've been thinking a lot about musical creativity lately, so expect a few related posts in the near future…
