Cello played with the bow on the bridge and with muted strings (by the left hand) / variations in bow pressure and partials of the strings (sul ponticello) / crackling rosin / recorded at very close distance with zoom h4n build in microphones.
Experimental sadism waterboarding a poor cello just for fun. Using makenoise gear to experimentally change the sound to muffle. Rendered in reaper @48khz 32 bit fp with markers for all you morphagene fans out there. Enjoy the muffling waterboarded feeling. . .
