Monochord

Dozens of strings tuned to one pitch are swept by hand; the wooden body, the buzz of the bridge and sympathetic strings ringing on their own build a deep, wavering drone, with a second monochord a fifth above behind it. Synthesised, not recorded; there is no claim of any effect.

30 minNo headphones needed

The same recipe with another seed: the raindrops, the order of the birds or the path of the chords change; the rules and evidence level stay the same.
