Carbon Garden music composition by Palindrome
July 22nd, 2009At Burning Man, Carbon Garden will enter its serene phase, black flowers urging their way out of the white dust, singing along in fire nightly. Now Palindrome (aka DJJD) introduces music compositions written for this setting and our flowers. You can listen to our mixdown sampler, though it will never be the same as what is played on the playa. That’s because this computer-generated music will respond to sensor inputs around the garden. It’s a dynamic composition comprised of a set of basic sounds then dynamically re-interpreted by motion in the garden.

They’ve actually put out a call for musicians to come play for this piece on the playa. Fontain, I know you won’t make it to Burning Man this year but you might want to find out where they plan to do this elsewhere (they were at the recent fire festival), and see if you could play or sing for it. I would LOVE to see the flames reacting to your voice!

The above email was sent to me by my friend Stacy who has been supporting our music through the years. I have a CD collection called Fire Trance that was written and composed and produce as an inspiration for Burners to dance to. We had the pleasure of performing some of it at Burning Man in 2007 on Center Camp stage as well as in our own them camp and we gave out at least Fire Trance CDs that year. I would love to perform our Sitars and Vocals and grooves in front of this pyre creature. Perhaps at Decompression in San Francisco?
Please let me know if it can be arranged.
