Diego Stocco - Music From A Dry Cleaner

Almost everyday, on my way to a local bakery, I walk in front of a dry cleaners.
When they have the front door open, I hear a lot of interesting sounds coming from their work equipment. Eventually, the different mechanical and steam sounds sparked something in my mind, so one day I asked the owners if I could record a piece of music by using their machines as musical instruments.

I used a puff iron, press and dry cleaning machines, a washer, clothes hangers, and a bucket full of soap.
The bass and lead sounds were created from the buzzing tones coming from the conduits and engines.
There are no additional sounds from any traditional or electronic instruments. Enjoy!

Diego, I really think you should talk about your ideas and experience on a TED conference. This is very inspirational.

Is there somewhere I can buy or download this song, or any of your other music for that matte? This is so cool.

Thanks, not this track yet, but I have several pieces up for free at my Bandcamp page.

I can't post links here but if you google my name and bandcamp they will show up.
