Back when we were kids we used to convert many types of leafs to sound instruments. We made this for fun. I remember the technique which is very simple.
Fold the leaf and trap the air at the bottom. Blow air and make a vibrating sound to the side. It sounds like a party blow, but no exactly: I included the
natural sound in the presets, but also made three additional versions: a granular pad, a stacato version and a sort of cat miau created using Krush bit crusher.
In the following example I used all except the natural preset: There are 4 presets: Natural, Granular, Staccato and Miau
