Part of An Environmental Music Series from Metro Art and Leaving Records
Flora Urbana is an exploration of the anthropogenic environments in which we live. With the intention to dissolve the illusory barriers between humans and nature, Green-House utilized field recordings of small pockets of "natural" sounds as they walked through densely populated city parks. The field recordings are blended with software synthesizers, samplers, and virtual instruments to symbolize the potential harmony that can be achieved between us and the rest of the ecosystem.

Metro Art Presents Palmy, The Sidewalk Palm Tree - A Soundscape by The Growth Eternal
June 25-July 25
Click here to stream or download the FREE 22 minute soundscape
Part of An Environmental Music Series from Metro Art and Leaving Records
Palmy is a little palm tree. And they're growing up, just like you! This song is about both of you growing up. Palmy wrote it after they saw you walking by them. You were on your way to Union Station. Does Palmy's song sound like a journey to Union Station to you?
Inspired by the sidewalk landscapes of Los Angeles and the way a child might experience the natural world on a daily walk, Palmy, the sidewalk palm tree is written from the point-of-view of a sproutling that has rooted itself on a small patch of earth. It watches people on their way to places the tree can only imagine from the sights and sounds that surround it. The soundscape was created using ambient field recordings, synthesizer, three plants using PlantWave and a dog.
