[microsound] music and/including nature in its manner of operation

[Brendan Landis]

Mamoru Fujieda has a series called Patterns of Plants. There are a  
couple discs out on Tzadik. From their web site:

"Generating melodic material through the micro-changes of surface- 
electric potential on leaves, Mamoru Fujieda's second Tzadik release  
was composed completely based on data taken from plants. "

He also wrote an essay about the series and his process, which is  
published in the most recent volume of the Arcana series. (The music  
is also very pretty.)


cheers,
Brendan
