‘Garden of Bone’ is my take on Botanica, a style of music which is defined (to me) by its plasticity and perpetual transmutation. At least once a day throughout the month of may (2025) I sat down to inject this song with my feelings, told through moments of sound, with the hopes of painting a particular passage of time, or even time itself. Over 200 unique samples live, die and skitter throughout this mutant child of texture, rhythm, nature and synthesis. The lyrics, sparse and spectral, are as follows: 


cut me down 

like a tree

welcome home 

this garden of bone

this garden of bone

will haunt us forever

Equip Gloom - Garden of Bone [from "Solarmodern: Botanica & Petalcore", 23/06]

By Joonas Siren aka Forces:

"In June 2024 I was in the midst of making a new live set for an upcoming concert. Instead of making new tracks, I decided to use archival recordings and experiments from the past 20-22 years that I have stored in six old external hard drives. I wrote a SuperCollider algorithm to select audio randomly from a massive folder, where all the archived audio was copied. The recordings range from early ‘00 Board of Canada inspired electronica, to analog noise/drone recordings around ‘06-09, to ‘11 modular synth improvisations, to all the way forward to unused SuperCollider experiments of recent years.

Using the algorithm was uncanny. I encountered a lot of sounds that I have no memory of ever making. This felt like unearthing deep, hidden sediments of myself.

What do these different layers reveal? Much has changed during these years of music making, personally and historically. The early recordings have a sense of melancholy and longing that I can’t quite access anymore. Still they are distantly familiar. During those years, my gaze was turned inwards to personal struggles and a sense of sadness that I wanted to reflect with my music. Nowadays, I want to focus on more general discourses instead of personal ones.

After the concert, I used the SuperCollider algorithm again to make this album. All the tracks have been chosen by it. The algorithm also provides some additional manipulation like sudden jump-cuts and fx’s while recording. Only some fade-outs and mastering have been edited
afterwards.

I hope that the serendipitous nature of the album reveals something hidden, perhaps interesting, beautiful or meaningful, among the shifting aural sediments of different temporalities."
