vegetable.machine.animal : an interspecies trio of non-human, technological and human collaboration developing generative and engaging sonics at this meeting point of three worlds. Via mycelium, wires and neurones signals are made, sent, received and interpreted in ways that make sense to each from its own perspective non-human/machine: The non-human is connected to the machine via a biofeedback module which converts living electrical signals into 'data'/machine-processable information - these signals moves through the network of the various modules of the synth altering parameters such as pitch, time, volume, sensitivity. machine/human: Aesthetic Synth sounds to the human ear are identified by manipulation of the parameters of oscillators, sequencers, EQ's' and settled on once the general 'voice' being produced seems 'right' for the moment. human/non-human: When the drumming/recording starts no further human manipulation is made to the synth. The only physical interaction happens once playing commences is between the non-human/human - this may be touch, talking, spraying water, making shade etc - these interactions also appear to have an affect on the incoming/outgoing signal of the synth. It also seems that the plant appears to responds to the volume of sound of the drums/speakers, further changing the dynamics of the audible sound.
