I'm fascinated by the idea of 'environmental music' - using environmental elements to choose or sculpt generative music. All of of these tracks were made using various plants as a source of bioelectricity - with small changes in this property being converted into note changes in a variety of synthesizers. Depending on the time of day, I then quantized the resulting notes into the scale of an appropriate Indian Raga. My training is in Indian Classical music, and I find it satisfying to use that structure to hold these compositions. It makes them even more 'contextual' in some way.

This is not science, this is art. I think of these pieces as sketches of some of the plants in my environment. All tracks were recorded live, in nature, in the northern Gulf Islands of British Columbia.

swordfern in the morning (raag bhairavi)

This is music made with mushrooms in the forests (and gas stations) of British Columbia. It's also a holiday album. Amanita muscaria and Santa Claus / Christmas traditions are linked in strange and wonderful ways. I hope you find this mushroom holiday album strange and wonderful in its own right 🍄

All tracks were recorded live using a combination of modular synthesizers and other analog equipment. Generally, I'm using small changes in bioelectricity to trigger note and rhythm changes in the synthesizers. Specific gear used includes the Moog Mother 32, Instruo Scion and Harmonaig, Make Noise Mimeophon and Maths, Mutable Instruments Clouds and lots of modulation sources.

Loungevity Mix

This EP is an attempt at embodying the quaint Göteborg urban scape. With harmonic sound artefacts and dark smearing textures enveloping the sonic façade,  "Kvilletorget" aims at reflecting the subtle balance that Göteborg presents - of that between emptiness and silence.

Inspired by travel in the December of 2018.
