This is from one of my sound design sessions, it's called "Drying Rack". I played a clothes drying rack with a cello bow. I extracted a bunch of tonal noises by playing the different parts of the drying rack with different bow pressures and positions. I was also "tuning" the metallic rods by applying a pressure on certain points, as you would do with a guitar string. The two acoustic guitars work as resonators and amplify the volume and the frequencies.

I'm not a professional videomaker, my focus is on sounds and music. I'm actually creating new playable sounds out of objects and customized instruments with innovative recording techniques. I put together this video by using pictures and portions of videos I took while I was recording, then I composed the soundtrack entirely with the sounds created out of this session.

I hope you like it!

Diego

    this is really cool way to experience the different sounds of nature / mental. thanks for sharing it. I like this First Design Frame of video. It talks lots more. besides that, the sun reflections also make the video shot get different feelings. guess that is the miracle of light...:)

    I am very interested in your work. You make experimental instruments; you find sounds and experiment with sound designs and video. I have similar interests. There should be a Vimeo channel dedicated to the exposition of this kind of work, no? I like your videos. You explain that you are not a pro-video maker, but I don’t know why you do that other than to emphasize that sounds might come first in your creative process. Nice work.
