Episode Synopsis

For this session I sent the Midi into a MeeBlip Anode and Triode. The Mycelium recorded here has been growing since February. Now it appears Physarum polycephalum is starting to grow on the Mycelium… I think one of the electrodes from my last session must have had slime on it. Oops! Hopefully they aren’t in a battle here, but the sounds tonight are a bit different. Tonight I hooked up two different sets of electrodes to the Mycelium, running through two different circuit boards, that translate the Mycelium impulses to Midi. A friend was visiting and during recording this friend fell asleep on the studio floor. So, I hooked up one set of electrodes to my friend! Haha. They snored away, without even noticing. At this point the Mycelium send out different impulses! More harmonic, if you will. Were the Mycelium aware of my friend? Who knows!?
Next week’s episode will be live recorded during the University of Toronto’s, Science Rendezvous! If you happen to be in Toronto make sure to visit 100 Saint George Street, Nanotopia and the Mycelium Network will be in Sidney Smith Hall, Room 1070.
Thanks for tuning in!
