Diego Stocco - Music from a Tree

[junemacarthur]

Another good reason for keeping our trees growing and healthy!

[Jessikhu]

No big deal. Just playin' my tree. 

[rodneyjayl]

Love this. Thanks.

[19nanhan]

amazing! The roots of music :D

Channel subed

[yokyu2lea]

waooo, so much creativity and talent!

[kidkoexist]

It helps that you have great rhythm!

[yurianne07]

be nice to tree and tree will <3 u back!..

[mallyjj87]

This is really impressive; not just from a musical perspective but from a technical one also! Really inspiring sound design that most sound engineers wouldn't dream of doing. Just goes to show that music is subjective and can be made from anything! :D

[iNoamfer]

That's an Olive tree right?

[CyclopsSpectreVideos]

Do you ever shift the pitch of some sounds after recording?

[DSSessionVideos]

@CyclopsSpectreVideos Not for this piece, the idea is to play only the notes that I can get out of the tree. There's no sampling involved here.

[einsamaberfrei]

Amazing! How do you turn a stethoscope into microphone?

[DSSessionVideos]

@einsamaberfrei Thanks, I modified a stethoscope by using some hose accessories, if you google: Music from a Tree Behance you'll find pics with more details.

[melskidoo]

Nice one Diego! @musicnlove91: There is so much art / nature in us and nature /art helps us to express it. We are part of nature and nature IS the teacher.

[maskof]

You are like are mad scientist.  A crazy mad scientist creating something that Frankenstein can dance to.

[silviaspagnoli]

you're a genius!

[Davidnicklas]

no way! good work!

[fenderkid]

This is so sick! How did you make that stethoscope adapter? 

[comicuzinho]

Very good! Keep working!

[UponLathering]

my favorite part is when he uses the guitar pick on the bark hahahah wtf

[MrCelamoi]

Real ambient music ::) Great!!

[littledicemonster]

this is awesome! I have one question: What microphones did you use? (on your Fingers)Thanks.

[objektform]

@littledicemonster yea would like to knw too

[littledicemonster]

this is awesome! I have one question: What microphones did you use? (on your Fingers)Thanks.

[DSSessionVideos]

@littledicemonster Thanks : ) those are Røde NT6.

[AmbientariaRecords]

This is truly awesome. Congratulations, nice work !

[2ImprovvisatiBarboni]

e l'albero sentitamente ringrazia :)))) Bravo.

[rahulcnr]

OMG



[Leoguerrero86]

One of the most amazing think that i´ve ever seen on youtube !

[symballein199]

...tu stai magicamente fuori amico...john cage si offenderebbe molto per questo, io rifletto...però ha proprio un bel suono...

[helloimbubbles]

I just can't stop watching your video's....what's next....they're fascinating......

[checkeredtoadstool]

AHHHH, TOO COOL.

[Suki022]

AAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMAZZZZZZZZZZI­NG!!!!!!!!!!!!



[fofobraselio]

Man, your a crazy musician with some wicked miking techniques

[Colovp5]

Yeah!

[WTFDario]

Wow never thought wood can make a heart beat noise cool dude u rock!

[slayerzzzzzzzz]

that sir is sir is so cool...now i will make like a tree and leave ;)

[lemondrop5578]

@nathan4288 It's not hearing protection; it's so he can sync the sound he's making with the sounds he's already recorded. Like how singers wear headphones when they're singing to a background track in a studio.

[VanPaiste]

So awesome! It was truly epic man!

[ThaBelgian]

Man your work is really really awesome! Keep it up!

[kienle51]

You've just got yourself a fan :| keep it up

[bubabo00]

C'est excellent !

[TomorrowToYourEars]

This is reallly goood!

[OldSchoolSkill]

Very creative... C# minor blues from a tree... the original "Xylo-phone!"

This is SO cool!

[DieMrsColumbo]

27 people are concrete-junkies

[nathan4288]

People must wonder why he is trying to trim his trees with a bow.... And if it is not powered why does he need hearing protection?

[HopefullyForgotten]

@nathan4288 i guess he hears the parts that he already recorded..

[lajulio]

Excelente!



[dragoide]

Penso d'amarti. Eh eh, sei proprio bravo. Mi sbilancio, sei un fottutissimo genio.

[thenetnetwork]

u rock



[sweetweeddream]

ore a olea europaea olivtree

[drumonzen]

Great knowledge of micking techniques!!! great recording!!!!

[spicyhotone]

wow That is proper creative !

[BookofIsaiah]

Awesome!! 

[musicnlove91]

Theres so much art in nature. you just have to help her express it

[DSSessionVideos]

@musicnlove91 I agree : )

[Cyllmegil]

@musicnlove91

Well, I would rather say that nature is music in itself, but to understand it a Human need to know how to listen to it.

[nettiepieproductions]

Like it? I LOVED it! Thanks!

[eribadzoulou]

it's a great thing what you did/

I enjoyed it a lot.

But I also thing you have to know and mention what kind of tree is this.

After all it was your inspiration + your instrument ; )

It look's like an olive tree to me

[revtkatt]

Awesome composition, actually.

You and the tree should take a bough. :-)

[MsMolly1313]

I love this.

[acab020186]

genius.

[kieran360]

it was the arrangement of all these sounds that made it so good!

[dimoxemeo]

bro this is amazing gj!!!

[CooperCONTAGION]

Omg. This guy just looks at stuff and is like "I wonder if I can make music with that" and then he tries and succeeds! It is amazing

[hsumi1]

The bow on the twigs sounds like a particularly musical mosquito.

[rostislav581]

Great!!! Loving it!

[SebastianEduardoLeto]

amazing

[n00bzorman]

You are a genius.

[tuckersbrother44]

It would have been interesting to be that guys neighbor, like, getting up to get the newspaper or something, and seeing some guy just wailing on a tree with one hand and a bunch of microphones rubber-banded to the other.

[Irishcanadiann]

legendary.

[aphelionmusic]

WIN

[indovinakisnLN]

Altro che Justin Bieber e musica commerciale, noi italiani vi battiamo in tutto!!!

[indovinakisnLN]

Altro che Justin Bieber e musica commerciale, noi italiani vi facciamo il culo!!!

[acsky9000]

[treeboar77]

[lauranine]

[kungkard7]

[alexlolomg]

[LyricalAssassin]

[musictemplegr]

amazing!!!!!!!!!

[91utuber]

what an imagination!

[Antreaccc]

this is natural mystic!

[ClayManSteve]

I'd love to hear a conversation between a couple of your neighbors "why is Diego bowing a tree?"

[nancylovesyou7]

incredible. thank you for existing =) please come to michigan. many of us love trees and we'd support you.

[guitarshreddder]

this tree has more musical talent than all modern day hip hop "rappers" combined

[Underhill182]

@guitarshreddder I don't know about that, but it sure beats most guitar shredders

[AursonDanger]

i imagine your neighbors seein' this and not listening anything ! they just take you for a f#ckng wild crazy man ! so good job i love this !

[maebellebelle]

cool!

[SilenceSyndicate]

My three year old son watches this video almost every day and tries to mimic it on a fake tree we have here in the house. He even puts on headphones! I need to post a video of it. Diego this is just simply awesome. Thank you for posting it!

[Crackst0n3]

[sandynordahl1964]

Bring me a shrubbery!

Can't wait to see what you do next.

[JoinUsThePlanetMusic]

Great idea.

[mooboo12]

Dude you got some sick skills, why need music from people, when you can get it from plant life. XD its epic.

[gwidao123]

THis could have started with a bet like " i dare you play smething out of a tree!" or something like that xD

[KillerInstinctXIX]

I saw some Sasquatch playing that same song, down in the west virginia woodlands, a few weeks ago. I didn't know they had the internet.

[stevemangler1]

I can almost hear the monkeys !

Wild - quite a creative dude I must say - awesome + very cool .

[pronduck]

Amazing. Musical genius!

[h3rgrl]

You should make a DvD of your videos. This is truly fascinating. I think it'd be a great thing to show for music appreciation.

[sunn0isamazing]

reminds me of nine inch nails

[RayOddname]

Non ho parole… credo che me li sognerò stanotte, i suoni di quell'albero.

[PallasLud]

You're a genious!

Cool man !

Continue you job ! :D

[plungerdrum]

This video needs more views!!

[soucomlatson]

tree song

[tierz2]

definitely interesting! The bowing was a little sharp though :P

[liquidmetaldefender]

This is beyond creative! I'm rather inspired by your modifications to those microphones, and the techniques you use to "play" the tree. Awesome!

[aceofcharades]

This sounds so much better than all those auto-tuned trees you hear nowadays

[neoalexan]

awesome sir! bow on you...

[Texanul1]

wow ...great

[JahaysusKahrist]

Makes my primitive dance

[dustinboatright113]

Amazing

[edongdabluesman]

cool!

[ertworks]

You sir, flipping rock. I just discovered your stuff and forwarded the links to all of my bass playing friends. Keep up the journeys of discovery!

[DFA831]

How you can someone give this a thumbs down?? Very original and actually very good music.

[placeholder666]

Wow, your Bassoforte was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I didn't realize you were the same guy that amazed me with this last year.

Fucking brilliant.

[bemuzic]

wow incredible!!!...I made a Diddley Bow on a tree, but pretty lame compared to what you've done here!!!

[rudradev64]

This is so good, man! Excellent job!

[ChrisJoyeMusic]

Wow incredible.

[oedipusfilm]

sei un genio! mi piacerebbe poter improvvisare su una tua base...

[msmarypop]

Genial!

[araneus7]

BRAVO !!!

[jayscott49]

touring with the tree is going to be challenging, assuming audiences want to hear the tree live.

[CherryBurstLesPaul]

@jayscott49 He could just use his, more portable, bonsai for that. :) I would love to see this live! :P

[PrestonWarfield]

How many drugs went in to this production? hahaha

[MrAlaska82]

ohhh my goshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, i luv it

[Feanux]

Heard the story on NPR, never seen the video, very impressive.

[button1943]

amazing!!!

[ruleinpeace]

Beware the rain, man... :-) Nice job, beautiful woodblock sounds. If no tree is injured or killed during the process of recording, keep on doing it.

[Natashadoingit]

wow so good!!!! Very inspiring

[Plan73]

Ho letto di te su Wired Italia e sono venuto a sincerarmi di persona su quello che avevi fatto. E caspita, è davvero notevole! :)

[n1tmare]

PURE CREATIVENESS! One of the best beatmaking videos I have ever seen on the net! I'm officially a fan of you, man!

[lars517]

INCREDIBLE!!! most musical instruments are made of trees, but your instrument IS the tree! My hat goes of to you sir! =D

[sandolinic]

I've read about him on Wired IT ... it's all true! bravo davvero.

[leobeachface2114]

ABSOLUTION! AMAZING!

[Sprintoflix]

It's fantastic O_O I wanna play music like him!

[fourthdimension1]

Watched this several months ago...had to come back and watch it again. Its AMAZING! I just realized it reminds me of the 80's movie Caveman with Ringo Star.

[MrDJPas]

amazing!

[BrainstrainMusic]

I know I have said it a million times to you before through many pages Diego, but I need to again. This is incredible. Thank you for the friendship on the new page.

Donny

Brainstrain Music.

[bbjmm]

ciao Diego geniale questo che vedo ;) BjM

[stereomikeit]

Bellissimo far suonare una pianta d'olivo!

[danielmizzle]

This is the greatest thing I've seen musically.. I want to do this sort of stuff so badly!

This is awesome man, you need to release a cd of this sort of stuff. music from trees and sand etc. if you already have could I get the info for where/how to find it?

[elisa101183]

un genio

[drumintel]

He plays music the way many have forgotten to. With truly creative ideas and experimentation. We need more like him. Fantastic

[mascaraintherain]

[malamela1]
