Music from sand – The effect isn’t barren

Piyush MehtaJul 31 2009

Diego Stocco happened to strike the chord on sandbags when he was moving the remains from the last rainy season to a different spot. The "noise" of the sand was crafted into a track out of tuned sand tones with no additional sounds or waveforms.

Watch this video (after the jump) to understand the new sound design technique that made me foot-tap. It kicks some major ass for sure!
