hard to imagine that there is more to the already ultra iconic flower of Mexico's Day of The Dead. Using biodata sonification technology (offspring of the lie detector concept) I convert this electromagnetic fluctuation data of the Cempasuchitl flower to  MIDI and then assign sexy digital musical instrument sound samples like those of a Steinway grand piano and a classic Hammond B3 Organ to the readout. After some perspicacious signal processing we arrive at this track. Enjoy The Data.

extemporaneous cempasuchitl bebop jam

Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and feel the light return. This track moves like sunlight after a storm—not blinding, but soft, golden, and full of quiet relief. An ethereal pad drifts gently across the stereo field, panned to mimic the way light shifts through moving clouds. Guided by the plant’s natural pacing, the melody breathes with tender imperfection. The fragility isn’t a flaw—it’s the heart of it.

Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and exhale. Qi Bloom is a meditative soundscape about release and renewal—a gentle shedding of what no longer serves, and a quiet filling of what does. In the open, healing key of C Major and flowing through the Major Pentatonic scale, this track moves with slow pulses and soulful stillness. A warm, slow-drawn pad expands like breath in the chest, while the plant’s natural rhythm guides subtle emotional tides. It’s a sonic exhale—a bloom from within.

16/100 ~ Qi Bloom

Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and notice what shifts beneath the silence. Soft Interruptions lives in F melodic minor—a scale that carries quiet tension and unexpected resolution. Anchored by a resonant, shadowy pad, the sound unfolds slowly, like a thought forming or fading. The warmth of rolled-off highs and the bloom of long reverb create space for stillness, but never stagnation. This is music for the moment something subtle changes—inside or out.

22/100 ~ Soft Interruptions

Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and witness a bloom in slow motion. Super Bloom unfolds in A♭ Major pentatonic—an open, flowing scale that feels like sunlight after rain. Centered around the lush warmth of the Super Bloom preset, this track swells with soft radiance and quiet awe. Each note unfurls like a wildflower following the sun, guided by the plant’s natural rhythm. It’s an ambient crescendo of growth, surprise, and gentle wonder—a sonic field in full bloom.

24/100 ~ Super Bloom

Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and release a message into the stars. Stars, Remember Me floats in B Lydian—a bright, expansive scale with just enough strangeness to feel cosmic. Built on the shimmering Stars Pad, this track drifts like a slow-moving signal through space: part love letter, part memory, part prayer. With long decays and gentle filter sweeps, the sound trails like stardust across a night sky. Guided by plant MIDI, each note feels like a whisper hoping to be remembered—far from Earth, yet full of feeling.


25/100 ~ Stars, Remeber Me

Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and step into first light. Morgen—German for both “morning” and “tomorrow”—is a soundscape of soft awakenings and unfolding time. Composed in E Major, the piece glows with serenity and clarity, carried by the warm, fluid tones of the Morgen pad. Like sunlight brushing across an unfamiliar sky, this track whispers possibility without urgency. Guided by plant MIDI, each note moves like a being just beginning to stir—hopeful, still, and filled with quiet promise.

26/100 ~ Morgen

Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and return to a place that never forgot you. The Garden Remembers unfolds in B♭ Major—a key of warmth, memory, and unspoken beauty. Grounded by a gentle progression and layered with plant-generated melodies, the piece drifts through longing (Gm), recollection (E♭), and quiet tension (Fsus2). Reverb blooms like time passing, while soft delay and saturation give each note the texture of sun-warmed stone. It’s not just music—it’s memory growing back through the soil.

31/100 ~ The Garden Remebers

Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and drift into the golden quiet that follows something unspoken. Afterlight is composed in G Major—a key of renewal and quiet clarity—and built around the analog warmth of the Warm Saw Keys preset. The sound is nostalgic but never heavy, like sunlight catching particles in an empty room. Plant-generated melodies sway softly in and out of focus, layered with light delay and plate reverb. It’s a memory without sadness, a haunting that leaves tenderness behind.

I'm a musician and sound artist creating immersive, emotion-driven soundscapes—often in collaboration with plants, textures, and memory. Right now, I'm in the middle of a 100-day challenge to write 100 songs. It's an experiment in letting go of perfection, in showing up daily to create without overthinking. Each track is a little snapshot of a feeling, a space, a thought—unpolished on purpose. I'm here to make music for the joy of it. Thanks for listening.
