This activity is a result of my recent explorations around planting flowers and music sampling, and combining learnings and methods from each to slow them both down. How does digital data propagate, grow and evolve? How can different ecosystems live in harmony even when seemingly unrelated? How can I pay better attention to the conditions of what I grow/what grows around me? | This activity is a result of my recent explorations around planting flowers and music sampling, and combining learnings and methods from each to slow them both down.

This activity is a result of my recent explorations around planting flowers and music sampling, and combining learnings and methods from each to slow them both down. How does digital data propagate, grow and evolve? How can different ecosystems live in harmony even when seemingly unrelated? How can I pay better attention to the conditions of what I grow/what grows around me?
You could come with a few sounds you wanted to share and a willingness to curve and stretch them :) These “seed” sounds formed the base of a limited shared library. From there used an open-source dj software to mix, loop, and mutate them into small compositions — planting them in a digital landscape where they can develop under different weather conditions, tangle with other sounds, and reveal their roots.
Explore the collective Sound Garden!!
