Diego Stucco is a sound designer and composer, who creates new sound experiences in unusual ways…to say the least. The latest really cool “created instrument” is below. (If you don’t see a video below, click the title of this entry to go to it’s dedicated page. The video will appear.)

I first learned about Diego from a video by Spectrasonics released during the Omnisphere unveiling. Diego is the crazy guy who created an Omnisphere instrument based on samples taken of a burning piano. The video below is a melange of images taken from that effort I believe with a soundtrack provided by the resultant set of samples.

A bit more informative is this video from 2 years ago where Diego and Eric Persing talk a bit about the sampling techniques used in developing Omnisphere.

Well, Diego does alot. There are a boatload of other really interesting videos on his Vimeo page. Be sure to check out Experibass, Luminosonic, Dissonant Echoes, Mystic Avantgarde Session, Sabrina Loves Klimt.
The cool thing too is that Diego understands the value and power of the visual documentation of his work in ways that are as artistic as the work itself. Brilliant guy.
And he looks like he is having a lot of fun…

The videos are amazing, but nothing like seeing Diego in person
