Un coup de coeur pour l'expérience sonore plutôt originale et inattendue de Diego Stocco qui s'est servi de sacs de sable pour créer de la musique. Le principe ? A l'aide de petits micros qui lui ont permis d'enregistrer le son du sable dans différentes configurations, il a pu sampler des échantillons qui ont ensuite été réassemblés. Découverte en images et en vidéo dans la suite !

Description originale de l'artiste

I had some sandbags in the backyard that I used in November during a rainy day. I was moving them to a different spot when I heard the noise of the sand. I thought that maybe I could try a new sound design technique so I bought some piezo film transducers and started to experiment with them.

The entire track is created only out of tuned sand tones. No additional sounds or waveforms.
I emphasized the inner notes of the sand grains and mapped them on a sampler as a series of instruments. The grooves are all played live with various techniques, including taping two piezo films to my fingers.

I'd like to dedicate this work to Mike Oldfield. When I was a child I listened to his music and it opened my mind. That experience triggered my life passion to create the means to access sounds we've never heard before. If you have questions or you just want to say hi please write at info@diegostocco.com
