NorCal DJ soupANDsalad delivered his second guest mix for the Frequency Horizon podcast, which aired on Pirate Cat Radio 92.9FM, in June 2024.

This hour of music is a recording from an ecstatic dance he played. It's a journey through a wide range of emotions and sounds, and will be good company for your introspective travels—as well as bright summer days.

soupANDsalad's "Ecstatic Dance Mix" for the Frequency Horizon radio show (June 2024)

I sit inside the screen inside the room — inside the hum,
each pixel rehearsing a version of me that flickers —
time-lapse roses opening in fast-forward, then rewinding to a seed.
The laugh track is a swarm of moths beating at the lamp of memory;
credits roll backward, naming my ghosts as executive producers.
Doors opening onto seasons that dissolve like wet chalk.
Somewhere a remote pauses the storm before it speaks my name

Inside the Screen Inside the Room

Composed, arranged, performed, and produced by:

Tempo 71 bpm

The pic is the lyrics and all the leaves we collected today in the pic. We are very lucky, the woods is a 5 min walk from where we live.

Picture This is an incredible plant identifier app if you haven't heard of that it's well worth getting for learning what you are looking at.

Lyrics

Hey my Loves
Check... Signed out!
Let's walk in nature and stop the shout
To the trees with love we picture this
Let's learn the leaves and aborb bliss

Hey flashy 'Male Fern' calm us now
Good 'Common Elder' takes a bow
Giving us worth wows 'English Ivy'
'Common Hazel shows real mighty

'Hawthorn' talks to nature walk
'Sessile Oak' accepts no balk
'Honeysuckle' soothes our scene
'Euro Beech' give kids new dream

The greatest 'Gorse' you carve our course
'Mountain Ash' beamed quick from source
Ah, 'Lady Fern', I never knew...
Aside 'Holly' prickly Christmas clue

Spruced 'Douglas Fir' pined always green
New 'Red Raspberry' wild and clean
Blue 'English Oak' mourns old theft ' knows
Flanked by 'Jetbead' might as rose

Why weep dear 'Birch you Silver' lady
Friend 'Downy Birch' lined walnut wavey
Aced 'Maple of Field' soapberry knowledge
To 'Norway Acer Maple' leaf foraged

What a walk
Thank you Nature
You calmed us down
You talk much greater
We learn you more and have more spine
This nature walk through real divine

ah yeah ah yeah

Hugging Trees foraging leaves
The truest love now calm my kids, good seeds
Nature walk fix our talk
With child's play we stalk with light
To darkness, We balk

Ah yeah, Ah yeah



Something I learned...
I assumed when I noticed Male fern and Lady fern that these were dioecious plants but thats not the case. They can hybridize as explained below but they are not seperate male and female plants as I assumed when I noticed the two today...

Male fern and lady fern are distinct fern species with notable differences in appearance and habitat preferences. Male fern (Dryopteris filix-mas) is a robust, larger fern with deep green, lance-shaped fronds, often found in woodlands and hedgerows. Lady fern (Athyrium filix-femina), on the other hand, is generally more delicate, with a finer texture and a lighter green color. It thrives in damp, shady conditions, often near water. 

Ferns reproduce through both sexual and asexual methods. Sexually, they reproduce using spores, which develop into a small, heart-shaped structure called a gametophyte. This gametophyte produces sperm and eggs, and fertilization results in a new fern plant. Asexually, ferns can reproduce through vegetative cloning, where new plants grow from rhizomes or by the tips of their fronds touching the ground and rooting. 

Ferns can hybridize through the fusion of gametes (sperm and egg) from different species, often occurring when spores from different ferns land and germinate in the same area. Hybridization can also be facilitated by apomixis, a form of asexual reproduction where unreduced spores (with the same chromosome number as the parent sporophyte) are produced, leading to the formation of a new sporophyte without sexual reproduction.
