Description: Timelapse video of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus) sprouting from my brother Merlin Sheldrake's book: Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds, & Shape Our Futures, with accompanying song by me. Lyrics: Being fungi living ground work, mycelium, mycelium. Growing lichen stretching lifetimes, dwelling places, more than one. Becoming lichens of our own minds, co-creaturely, entangled life. All sounds apart from voice and double bass are recordings of the fungus devouring the book. Recordings of the fungus were made by sound ecologist Michael Prime using electrodes which detect the bioelectric activity of the fungus and control a tunable oscillator. The fluctuations in pitch and rhythm are real-time sonic representations of the activity of the fungus as it digests the book. Video by DRK Videography. Track mixed and mastered by Vahakn Matossian.
