Sumschivara *
A ritual exploring the boundary between life and death through the metamorphosis of a dead sumac tree.
Recorded over four months, the tree’s ecological network appears through climatic shifts, insect activity, and the electrical signals of the Schizophyllum commune fungus. Atmospheric and organic metrics form a granular soundscape, and fungal electrical spikes generate an emergent spoken language. Coming soon.
“We cannot give these entities our worldview of good and evil.”
