Planting - Pollination - Propagation - Harvest
a sonic exploration of garden processes

Planting: to put or set in the ground for growth; to set or sow seeds, ideas or actions.

Pollination: the transferal of pollen from the male structure of a plant to the female structure of a plant to fertilize it.

Propagation: the reproduction of a plant or animal; the multiplication of plants by the use of seeds or cuttings; the spreading of ideas or customs to many people; the movement or transmission of something forward in space, especially as a light or sound wave.

Harvest: to gather a crop for use or sale; to reap the results of past or prior actions or behavior, whether good or bad.

These are powerful words. They provide potent descriptions of the cultivation of seeds, reproduction of plants and life itself. This simple sound piece weaves audio strands from a season in my garden. It is a sensory celebration of these four interdependent actions of cultivation. It honors the the seeds that continue this  cycle and the many planters, pollinators, propagators and harvesters of our planet – from the microscopic to the macrocosmic. May they continue to flourish.
