Sherman Oak by Alex H Duncan
After being invited to record and collect data at a fundraiser for Forest without Frontiers in Essex, Alex found Sherman a magnificent giant Oak watching over the space.
In an uncanny and exciting live recording session the tree appeared to respond to a nearby gong player following the musical dynamics of the sound. The midi data collected during these sessions has been used to create Sherman Oak. The data provides the pitch, tempo and melody and by tuning into this Alex unveils a truth about our natural world and its unheard dialect.
Alex reveals nature as a guide and collaborator creating music that is profound and moving. Sherman Oak ebbs and flows, sometimes tranquil often intense. To help spread Sherman's voice the strictly limited CD edition comes with demos and sample stems to encourage the creative freaks out there to remix & add their re-interpretations.
The download also comes with additional files, including the CD liner notes, draft artwork, a 720p version of the Eszen remix video and study photographs taken by Eszen.

“Welcome to my world where humans tread very carefully."
I am fascinated by music primarily made from plants and fungi using a plantwave. I collect the midi and put together music made by non humans. Understand them, listen, maybe be a bit kinder. After all they do sustain our very existence.
