Episode Synopsis

Last night it rained (finally!) leaving the earth wet this morning so, I took an early walk down to the Scarlet fungi to record their bio-data. Curious birds chirped, trilled and squawked at me while I placed the electrodes onto the mushrooms. That said, this recording is from Ganoderma steyaertanum, a Tasmanian clone. I am currently experimenting with the steyaertanum mycelium towards an upcoming workshop here at Bigci October 12th, 2019. It fruits low on hardwood trees deep in the rainforests here.
New intro!
Artist in residence and new mate up here at Bigci.org, Madeleine Shaw aka Maddy allowed me to record her voice to highlight and mark my time here. Check out her work when you get a chance! https://maddyshaw.com.au
Meanwhile, I am excited and honoured to share the following news! Some of my mycelium bio-data/bio-sonifications (along with images and text) are being integrated into artist/film-maker Lisa Jackson’s upcoming massive installation, TRANSMISSIONS, large-scale three-part multimedia installation about the power of language, in an indigenous futurist setting. Premiering September 5-28 downtown Vancouver at Simon Fraser University's Milton Wong Theatre. Tour to follow.
So, if you are in or around Vancouver Sept 5-28 make sure to check it out!
