A regular HB pencil being used to write on thick watercolor paper before the tip breaks against the pressure.
Mechanical pencils, a table, and the air conditioner.
Two mechanical pencils were used as percussion instruments with AC conditioning as background noise. I created a few simple rhythms on an adjacent table. Recorded with Lenovo Thinkpad E550 laptop.
