A. I used two pieces of wood, a spring, a tin box and cello strings fixed with nails. Then I added contact microphones connected to a jack for direct amplification. With the good sound transmission properties from the cello strings that are connected to the wood and percussive sounds from the tin box and metal spring, the contact microphones captured some unique noisy textures to manipulate in Padshop 2.
