Product Description

, composed between 1996 and 2011, is Mamoru Fujieda's magnum opus. Working with the "Plantron," a device created by botanist/artist Yuji Dogane, the composer measured electrical fluctuations on the surface of the leaves of plants, and converted the data thus obtained into sound using the Max programming system. Through a process he has likened to searching "in a deep forest" for "beautiful flowers and rare butterflies," he listened for musical patterns, and used them as the basis for composing short pieces, which he then grouped into collections reminiscent of Baroque dance suites.
