The recordings are a combination of synthesized electronic music generated by biodata sonification recorded from plants, as well as ambient field recordings and original acoustic guitar accompaniment captured in the moment. soundsofpalmreading@gmail.com https://palmreadingmusic.com/Music Wed, 11 Jan 2023 01:46:08 +0000 Palm Reading https://palmreadingmusic.com/Music Palm Reading’s music is released as “Locations” versus the traditional album, EP or single format. The conditions of the location at the time of recording directly shape the music that is generated and captured. The amount of tracks released from a given location is also influenced by how dynamic the flora’s biodatastream was at the time of recording (sometimes the plants are quiet and produce little music due to various ecological factors).&nbsp; Each Palm Reading location is released by the Los Angeles-based wellness music label Myndstream on all major streaming platforms. <img width="1000" height="1000" width_o="1000" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/af633066025887df36c9e5a96657637e92a1b0eba4ed5384f98b94330a2f5bbc/PR_Walden.jpg" data-mid="228575331" border="0" data-scale="88" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/af633066025887df36c9e5a96657637e92a1b0eba4ed5384f98b94330a2f5bbc/PR_Walden.jpg" /> <img width="600" height="600" width_o="600" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/364866a34326d058f46f3b66fd8c57b53bc2546a8ba46a53b580d7e397ada6bc/Palm-Reading_Joshua-Tree_600.jpg" data-mid="164876737" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/600/i/364866a34326d058f46f3b66fd8c57b53bc2546a8ba46a53b580d7e397ada6bc/Palm-Reading_Joshua-Tree_600.jpg" /> <img width="600" height="600" width_o="600" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b29f4723ca662d4a7420af61377af749b969565fc0978e4cdea9e6a0d7c0f4c/Palm-Reading_Malibu-600.jpg" data-mid="164876738" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/600/i/9b29f4723ca662d4a7420af61377af749b969565fc0978e4cdea9e6a0d7c0f4c/Palm-Reading_Malibu-600.jpg" /> A Curated Playlist from Palm Reading’s Skooby Laposky https://palmreadingmusic.com/News Sun, 24 Sep 2023 18:13:33 +0000 Palm Reading https://palmreadingmusic.com/News Palm Reading News Angeles Forestsingles dropping weekly with the full location coming in early July!
