Resonant Cactus (Meng Qi Wingie 2)
Went home last weekend and couldn’t help but bring back a wee bit of equipment to show off to my parents. When I arrived I was greeted by a quite substantial cactus on the table. I got really gassed cus I had exactly the right stuff with me to setup a little amplified resonating cactus. You gotta stuff like this cus it looks silly but if you wanna listen deeper there’s an interesting variance between the transients and harmonics of each spine of the cactus as they plucked. To be fair though the Wingie 2 resonator is doing the heavy lifting on this one but what I love about this little box is that it accentuates the exciting source honestly compared other resonators that just wash it out.
Yeah anyway if anyone who wants to use these sounds in their own music or just have a listen without having to look at my slightly worried hungover facial expressions then you can download it over on my soundcloud: / moral_fibre
Big ups my guy John Cage

Bonkers, and brilliant. Never would have thought to do this. Going in search of a prickly plant this instant!
Cereus music-making, this!
Very creative idea. Cactus be like, oooo that tickles 😊 I would have to keep some bandaids handy, just in case… Thanks for sharing, and have a great day.
tried this but my cactus was out of tune
