about

UNDERWOOD is an interactive music performance from the lower level of the forest, and is dedicated to nature and specifically to the dwindling forests.

The UNDERWOOD project aims at making audible and tangible the mysterious world of the forest floor beneath our feet.


A network of subterranean connections and transport routes of tree roots and hyphal strands (fungi cells). But also the constantly changing phases of composting of leaves, small branches, pine cones and tree fruits on the surface of the forest floor, telling in a language of image and sound of the mysterious world, past, present and future, from the lower levels of the forest.

Trees communicate via an underground network. They share information and exchange nutrients between one another by sending chemical, hormonal and slow-pulsing electrical signals through the network of fungi beneath the soil that surrounds and connects their roots. Coined the 'wood wide web', this network is estimated to be 500 million years old.


Scientific research shows that the electrical impulses mushrooms send out, may be a form of communication used to talk to each other. Evidence has been found of a mysterious mushroom language that could have as many as 50 words. It is speculated that fungal electrical activity is a manifestation of the information communicated between distant parts of the fungal colonies.

All tracks are directly recorded on a 7 string short scale bass using generative iPad fx apps. no overdubs. no remix.
