Hanging around Laugarvatn being attacked by insects as I set electrodes onto various plants... Strange Mix came through a Make Noise NoCoast and Animoog

This evening I went up into the hills a bit. Just behind Gullkistan Centre for Creativity. There amongst the birch (Björk), geraniums and wildflowers a multitude of moss and lichen grow. Tonight two sessions are being uploaded.

1. Electrodes were gently placed onto Cetraria nestled within reindeer moss (Cladonia furcata). Cetraria is a genus of fruticose lichen that associate with green algae as photobionts. Which is the photosynthetic part of this particular lichen. Midi came through the Moog Model 15.

Session number 2. Laugarvatn mushroom.

Ever so gently place an electrode onto a tiny mushroom peering out of the moss and lichen.

This is what mushroom had to say.

Bio-sonifying the alumni artists in residence at Nes. Several artists sat quietly as I placed electrodes onto their bodies and translated their electrical impulses to MIDI. Artist Ron Linn's work deals with a translation, engaging in issues of place and the connection between human and non-human nature through an examination of memory, myth, and both personal and imagined histories. Please visit Ron's website to learn more about him and his work. Thank you for tuning in! http://ronlinnportfolio.com/about/

Tonight's episode comes to you from Iceland. Mycelium grown into the shape of an anatomical heart hooked up to electrodes sending its funky vibes to MIDI.

Special Wednesday episode for Thursday! Jérémy Pailler is an illustrator, visual artist/researcher in visual arts at the LARA audiovisual research laboratory in Toulouse. He has written a dissertation on animation and is active in the fields of children's books, movie posters, video clips, personal film projects and film projects. exhibitions. Jérémy's bio-sonifications are quite a bit 'calmer' than that of Nervous Hunter (what's in a name?!) perhaps due to his approach and practice? While you listen and contemplate Jérémy's bio-sonifications please take a look at his incredible illustrations. http://www.jeremypailler.com

Special Wednesday episode for Thursday! Nervous Hunter is here in Iceland from Montreal. Sophie Gee, director/playwright/artist. Sophie has many things going on at once, a lot to interpret, decipher and choreograph thus, her electrical impulses were coming in off the charts! A wall of energy. Nervous Hunter is the name under which Sophie Gee presents theatre/installation work created in collaboration and solo. The pieces are mostly creation. The name is taken from the impulse to hunt, an impulse that is followed despite nervousness and fear. Many of the works are site-specific and immersive. Nervus Hunter invites the public to join her in the hunt.

Nervous – the system that conveys impulses and sensations between the spinal cord and our bodies.

Tonight's episode is a bit short due to computer crashes and smashes. Funtimes!

Greetings from Iceland! Mycelium is growing on Kenaf substrate, I hooked up electrodes this evening and am surprised by the activity. Perhaps it has to do with the constant light here? Almost 24/hr sun, it is very tricky to block out. Thank you SO much for listening :) Hope you will subscribe or follow our Midnight Mushroom Music podcast. Instagram: @nanopodstudio @MothAntler xo

Greetings from Iceland! For tonight’s episode I hiked to the sea cliffs, much to the Arctic Tern’s chagrin! They are currently nesting and highly protective. Understandable considering how far they’ve flown to nest! Meanwhile, I did my best to assure them that I was not after their eggs and continued on my way…. looking for the perfect Elf rock. Once settled in I carefully placed the electrodes onto a couple of different lichen growing over the boulder. The wind was wild around me. The electrical impulses of the lichen and/or possibly seismic activity happening within the boulder (?) was translated to Midi and brought into AniMoog. Enjoy and thanks for tuning in to Midnight Mushroom Music.
