Recently I bought a turntable to use it for an experiment, but that didn't turn out as I was expecting.
Then, I noticed the equally spaced ridges on the plate and got an idea for something else.
For about an hour I recorded short musical phrases by rubbing leaves against the turntable (the type of leaf, angle, pressure and fold determined the sound), then I combined the different takes together. Every element comes from those recordings, including the bass, kick and snare sounds (shaped with EQ, compression and resonators).
If you'd like to see more of my musical projects based on trees and other natural ingredients here's "Music from a Tree" http://bit.ly/9hRhB2 and "Music from Nature" http://bit.ly/ID6Vow Enjoy! : )
