L. Cope So ethereal with the drone, close harmonies, mellow horn, and the space created by long notes and rests. Shimmery!!! Earthy percussion!

about

"Viriditas is an interdisciplinary performance featuring music, dance, and visual art from Ben Swisher, Roxanne Gray, and Scout Invie; with Masio Sangster, Bly Wallentine, and Charlotte Stehmeyer."

This is the music that Bly and I made together for Viriditas. Bly and I played a lot of instruments, including tuned autoharp and flexatone. Scout can be heard on "Darn the Wool" processing wool.

From the Viriditas statement:

"We live in an era of information and technology overdrive driven by automated forms of communication that can cause a disconnect, segmenting us into artificial groups and colonizing our time. Through the physical act of creating, we can reclaim time by intentionally slowing down, offering hope for the regrowth of connective tissues. Like mycelium’s network of fungal threads, organisms in nature collaborate to form creative systems of communication. Our collective has symbiotically adapted through collaboration among our artistic mediums of music, fiber crafts, and dance—sharing energy and creating new growth."

'Viriditas is the natural driving force toward healing and wholeness, the vital power that sustains all life’s greenness.' - Hildegard Von Bingen"
