"It’s as if we’re giving plants synthesizers and allowing them to 'bang on a piano' with their changes in conductivity. This process results in musical forms that wish I had the ability to play or reproduce. At the same time, it’s nice to just sit in a room and surrender to the experience."

At the same time, it’s nice to just sit in a room and surrender to the experience.”
