about

Driving through the North Carolina mountains on the way to a gig, I took some time to hike up to a waterfall just after 5 inches of fresh snow had fallen. I sat for a while at the bottom of the waterfall, listening to the white noise of the rushing water and noticing how many different sounds emerge the longer you pay attention to it. Everything was covered in snow, even the little mosses and lichens on the poplar tree beside me. I decided I wanted to hear what the moss sounded like, freezing there in the wet 20° weather, so I set up my laptop and a PlantWave and recorded it.

The recording I take home on my laptop is very raw, I don't know what the piece will sound like until I get home and start building sounds for the plant to play. This tracks features the moss playing 3 different synthesizers, two samplers playing harmonies I've added to the plant's notes, and the recording of the waterfall I was sitting next to.
