Infernal Proteus
A Musical Herbal and Art Book
|
|
|
| |
A 96 page hardback book containing 4 full-length music CDs featuring 40 songs about
plants from 40 artists representing 13 countries. Each musician/band selected a species
of flora that they felt some affinity with and composed a song for that herb, flower
or tree.
Each song is complimented with a recognizable visual image. The art ranges from
photography to metal sculpture to pen and ink to oil and acrylic paint to
computer-crafted imagery. The artwork and the book are both full color.
The musical styles cover an equally as diverse spectrum as that of the art
encompassing sounds considered to be of the genres: pop, folk, gothic, electronic,
ambient, experimental, industrial and ingenious.
A sampling of the flora included: Belladonna, Beech, Borage, Chrysanthemum,
Dandelion, Edelweiss, Ginkgo, Hops, Lily of the Valley, Mandrake, Milk Thistle,
Myrtle, Oak, Poison Ivy, Redwood, Sundew, Yarrow, and Yew.
Some musicians featured: Ah Cama-Sotz, Allerseelen, Apoptose, Aube, J. Coleclough
and T. Hill, Hekate, Inade, In Gowan Ring, Kawabata Makoto, Mnortham, Steve Roden,
and Unto Ashes.
This book retails for $45.
