EM Records: ..."Ecological Plantron" was a CD released in 1994, the audio document of an installation held in 1994 at a gallery in Tokyo. The Plantron is a bioelectric interface developed by botanist Yuji Dogane; it was designed to give voice to plants, using electronic means to make audible the energy of the natural world, prioritizing the non-human aspects of nature. Dogane was assisted in the project by composer Mamoru Fujieda, who helped to convert the vegetal energies into audible sounds. Though they stress that this is not music, the recordings that Dogane and Fujieda released are actually quite musical and not at all unpleasant in the way that some other non-musical sounds might seem. There is an attractive gentleness and an intelligent flow here, a vibrant energy, and one can sense that the plants are communicating, waiting for us to understand.

boomkat: ...Fine, vaporous cloud of Bristolian smokers’ lullabies from Amos Childs and Boofy“NoCorner come forward with the fourth release in their 7 series, presenting four short, but oh-so-sweet cuts from VMO$ (aka half of O$VMV$M, half of Jabu, aka Amos Childs) and Boofy, the fellow badbwoy Bristolian, Bandulu-affiliate and Guiness lover.What we have here, are supreme late-night, slo-mo vibrations of the highest order, as you'd come to expect from the man behind much of the Jabu, O$VMV$M and Killing Sound material in combination with Boofy, who seems to add just right amount of extra tinges of dank, skewed RnB & other syruppy goodness, that mix&blend better than your nan's secret Rum Punch. Wicked combination - VMO$ & Boofy killin' them in cool & deadly style.Support from Kahn & Neek (as heard on their FabricLive mix) as well as Mary Anne Hobbs and Batu.”
