prepared

A steel string cedar-wood guitar is prepared by weaving a 1/2 inch x 4 inch piece of folded paper between the strings of a guitar near the bridge, which creates a more percussive quality to the strings when struck by reducing the sustain of the string and emphasizing the attack of the notes. The melody utilizes the phrygian mode of western music, a mode often used in folk music around the world. Recorded on a Yeti Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone in a small room.

A cedar wood, classical nylon string guitar in standard tuning has been prepared by forcing a metal rod on the ninth fret underneath the strings, which creates a second bridge. The strings are then struck with wooden chopsticks on either side of the second bridge, similar to a dulcimer. Recorded on a Yeti Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone in a small room.
