Duet With Plants II 432HZ (Cave Of The Moon)

Overview

Duet With Plants II 432HZ (Cave Of The Moon) --- 2019

This is the second album consisting of live musical interactions between plants and Guitarist Clive Wright. In most cases the tracks are completely live improvisations and were recorded at various concerts. With this release we are documenting experimentation with the Midi Sprout, a device which outputs midi data from the plants, Clive created soundscapes on a laptop to be triggered by the data and the results contribute to most of the plant voices here. A more stand alone Device named 'Bamboo' was obtained later in 2018 and was used for 'Homecoming', 'Circle Of Life' and 'We'll Make it Through'. The device is pictured above during a duet with wildflowers, the original Damanhur UI machine was used on the live 'Hammers of the Rock Gods' triggering percussive sounds on a laptop as an experiment, Arrangements were created with the plant voices live, and on most tracks no synths were added, there are minimal supplemental keyboards on 'We'll Make it through' and 'Circle Of Life', the rest of the tracks feature generated solely by the plants and connected devices with midi triggered voice banks, or sounds generated by the Bamboo device or laptop. Clive Wright plays classical acoustic and electric guitars, ebo, virtual synths and a Godin electric Oud. Again for the most part performed in real time along with the plants. Special thanks for the voice samples from singer, artist, Artemis Robison which were added to 'Mesquite Night Wind'. For technical Explanations on how the plants make music with these devices please research information from the manufacture's websites.
