Hi there! As title suggests, I shit to Y'all a puzzle of sorts, that I just deviced.
Try to portray a small plant growing, clearly a pretty silent process, via sound! How would You go about it?
Hints (feel free to ignore):
- where is the plant? Is it in the forest, on a field, or maybe a balcony,or even a window sill?
- what is the plant like? Is it small, big, this or that species?
- How long does it grow? Is it a gradual march from seed to flower, or maybe a comedic, cartoon-like "plop"? There are no right answers!
PLEASE PARTICIPATE ONLY IF YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO! I'm not planning to use it anywhere, You keep all the rights and so on. Just wanna see other people's approaches.
Deadline: lol no
I hope it serves You well, I find it often stimulating to be presented with a challenge!
Good luck, and as Hood Nature Guy says: Drink water, hug Your mother, and I'll see Y'all in the next one¹.
¹one whatever, I'll try to check up in exactly a month. But if it's a year, please don't scream at me!

Before this thread existed, I made musical interpretations of this same concept. They are two of my favorite recordings of the year, and the first one (No.55) continued branching out even after its completion, because it was extensively sampled and the portions remixed.

I have wanted to do at least one more such composition - something influenced by the structures and habits of the Asteraceae (a family of plants, including dandelions and sunflowers, who mostly produce composite yellow flowers and which are found almost everywhere except Antarctica). Perhaps this thread will get me to do it soon!

The songs themselves are the meditations. They're improv (and usually ambient) songs which I create to learn about sound design and other things. Very little about them is planned, so think of them as an experimental run that goes parallel to my actual planned, written pieces. Most of them are not as structured or composed as the ones I linked.

I'm still gonna do the Asteraceae one when I have a good concept for it.
