about

For the longest time I've tried to sign animals to the label. Not as a joke, but as a genuine signifier that all life has creativity. So when I found Scott Ballard online, someone who has been experimenting with interfaces to have plants make music, I was over the moon. Scott has been using different plants and different midi equipment with the sprout midi interface which gets some very nice, varied and ingenious results.

Most of the tracks here are un-manipulated improvisations of the plants. The peace lily has some mean hooks and reacts to light and air with a jerky set of melodies. Some of the melodies return like a theme in a recording, some evaporate like the water the plants got. Scott manages to pull this all together with a great ear for the melodic and dramatic cues by his flora. As a bonus item you can find pictures of the sessions, but let's be honest, the music really does all the talking here! Think about this release the next time you water your plants...
