The Cortado MkIII Contact Microphone is a pro-audio tool ideal for sound design. In this demo, two microphones were used, attached to different points along a steel staircase. I ran up and down the stairs in soft leather shoes, stomping. The mics capture a wide range of erie, spooky resonances as the energy makes its way through the complex metal structure. This stairwell would also make a terrific percussion instrument.
