“Does that include the cost of the full rebuild of Euston station that you’re talking about now, or is that going to be in addition as well? Or are they like most Irish builders, saying that it’s going to be ‘roughly that’.”

Avoid North London on your way home, Richard, there’s a good chap.

One day, Diego Stocco decided to play the tree in his back yard:

To tune the tree I picked a fundamental note and tuned the twigs by trimming them with a pencil sharpener. I used two Røde NT6 and a NTG-2 as microphones, combined with a customized stethoscope.

I recorded the tracks live on a Pro Tools LE system. I didn’t use any synthesizer or sampler to create or modify the sounds. All the sounds come from playing the tree, by bowing the twigs, shaking the leaves, playing rhythms on the cortex and so on.

And now, here he is playing a bonsai tree.
