Episode 3 of The Source of Sound is about the use of trees, plants and seeds as musical instruments. Nowadays most musical instruments are still made of natural materials. Usually these materials have been processed intensively, but without these processes or with a simple operation trees and plants are already full of sound. All over the world dried seeds, bamboo tubes, bundles of leaves, sticks, logs, grass stalks and cut cane are used to produce sounds by banging, clapping, rattling and blowing. Mostly rudimentary instruments, sometimes with only one pitch, as you will hear in this episode, but this does not limit the creativity. Even with every person playing just one tone a complicated piece can be produced, by using variations in timbre and by working together.
