One of the first albums of music I created (1991). It was done with pianos, harmoniums, shortwave radio sounds, and earthquake sounds generated from a very low frequency recording apparatus. The title of the album, “Mundus Subterraneus” was taken from a rare manuscript by Athanasius Kircher (1665) that describes and details earth currents. This was an early exploration into the dissociation of rhythm, melody, and harmony. Listen here:

Posted in Uncategorized with tags Music on May 9, 2013 by Michael TherouxSeveral years ago (1996), I produced an album of “plant songs” entitled, PLANT TONES, Music From the World of Plants. At the time I was conducting experiments on plant response to ex
ternal stimuli using a galvanic skin response detector coupled to an audio oscillator of my own design – all based on the work of L. George Lawrence (See The Secret Life of Plants). This would render the plant’s responses to specific environmental conditions in a somewhat musical presentation. This work eventually was recognized by the SciFi channel, and an episode of “Sightings” was dedicated to the research I had been working on.
Shortly, we’ll be transferring the entire album of plant music from these experiments to digital media (currently, they are on cassette tapes), and we’ll post them here. Here it is
