Symbiotic {Laurel Oak} is here! My first album with Hearts of Space Records is now available everywhere, and I’m thrilled to finally share it with you.
Part of my ongoing Symbiotic series, this music was created in nature in collaboration with a living Laurel Oak tree. By translating the tree’s subtle electrical energy patterns into sound, I’ve created ambient compositions that unfold slowly and organically, mirroring the rhythms of the natural world.
This soundscape is ideal for meditation, yoga, creative work, or simply taking time to pause and listen. My hope is that it invites a sense of curiosity, presence, and wonder, the same qualities that inspired me to create it.
For Annabel
You can listen now on your favorite streaming platform, including YouTube and Bandcamp. The album is available in two forms:
🌿 a 12-track album
🌿 and a long-form edition with over an hour of uninterrupted ambience

I’d love to hear what you notice or experience as you listen. 🌿
I’m an internationally recognized experimental sound artist currently working on a series of data-driven sound installations incorporating generative ambient music, data input from the natural world, including plants, and collected field recordings. Each composition tells a multidimensional story about a slice of our cosmos through data and sound. My intention is to use technology as an invitation for people to reconnect with the beauty of the natural word with a sense of curiosity, wonder and awe.
Symbiotic is a series of live generative music performances and recordings created in collaboration with plants. Through these collaborations, I translate the electrical vibrations within plants into audible music, creating compositions that allow us to hear the otherwise silent symphony of nature and experience our connection on an immersive level.
The music that emerges from this collaboration is deeply relaxing, well-suited for meditation, yoga, stress reduction, and creative activities. Unlike traditional recorded music, generative music exists only in the present moment, infinitely evolving through adaptive generative algorithms that respond in real-time to data received from live plants. There is no fast forward or rewind, only the present moment. What transpires is a deeper connection between ourselves and the natural world.
