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.

Impressionist Jim Meskimen does Clarence’s speech from Shakespeare’s Richard III in 25 different voices: Walken, Jimmy Stewart, Arnie, Shatner, Clooney, Obama and a few less obvious ones, pretty much nailing it every time.
