Babygrand
One synthesizer, three music boxes, a ukelele, a saw, a glockenspiel, harmonica, birdsong, theremin, violin, swallows and electricity all make up Babygrand's improvised clatter-folk. Live loops, mesemeric saw, contact mic, lo-fi hums, scrapes and drones, field recordings, string clusters, all combine to create a warm patchwork of sound.
