Dandelions, ivy leaf, maple leaf, rye grass, wild oats, cigar tube , djembe (8)

Dandelions and leaves were blown into, grasses were held between my teeth and plucked on tunes no.5 and 6, rubbed and shaken on tune no.7,
The cones were scratched, the coffee can was shaken, the cigar tube was hit with a stick, the nut tree twigs were hit for tune no.3 and broken fore tune no.4,
The djembe was played normally..

This album was made by recording, sampling and putting together most of these sounds, like they do for electronic music.
All themes and solos were improvised.
Pitch was not altered.
A little reverb was added (mostly for the grasses) and the djembe was sometimes filtered to get more bass (it's a smaller one)
No other effects were used..
