"Lavender" has helped me get to sleep via youtube for about a week or more now, and I am glad to be able to use my own copy in a playlist that won't get interrupted. Favorite track: Lavender.

about

Herb Garden: Generative Plant Music is the first album in a series called Signs of Life, a deep dive into plant music.

It is an artistic endeavour to revive our lost connection with nature and invariably discover more about who and what we truly are. We are only separated from nature because we’ve forgotten our relationship with it. This series invites you to rediscover that connection.

Herb Garden is a collaboration between myself and a collection of plants from my home. My role was to choose musical elements like notes, instruments and timbres, that I felt suited the raw electrical data outputted by the plant. I chose creative parameters for each song, and then left it to the plant to perform the song. The resulting song depended on the strength and quality of the electrical output from the plant at the time of the recording.

A very special thank you to each and every one of you who was present and a part of this project.
