solo cello improvisations

Solo cello improvisation, featuring a mute used as a mechanical distortion device.

Lots of sounds you won't find in the vienna symphonic library. Including my blocked up nose

Recorded in mono 24bit/48KHz using a close miked AKG C480B condenser microphone with CK61 (cardioid) capsule.

Another excellent addition to freesound - to my mind the best "musical" sample I have heard on the site - it has a feeling of tension, discord, and strained beauty. I love it.
