Alex, who lives on old agricultural land in Devon that he has been planting for years into a woodland, says his creativity is led “entirely by the organisms of nature”. 

He offers us the magical viewpoint of the mycorrhizosphere and beyond, by collecting electric signals directly from living plants and mushrooms in situ and composing music with them in his studio. Crucially, he does this without altering what they have to say.

What does a conversation with a tree or flower sound like?  How might we be changed once we have experienced the voices of the unheard world of vegetal and fungal biota?  

Alex sees it as his calling to give plant life a voice in a world in desperate need of their undoubtable wisdom.

The fungi, leaves, flowers and trees provide pitch, tempo and melody and he reflects mycelium networks intimately and perfectly with his expert arrangements. 

His compositions move us away from human led musical creation, encouraging us to go with a flow that’s bigger than ourselves. To let the universe lead the way and to trust in it.

Alex says; ‘Deep below us great things are happening. As you listen to my music, I want you to imagine travelling these networks, moving beneath the busyness above, deep into the vast lava flows and back through time. 

Eventually it’s where we go and it’s where we came from.’

Alex is experienced at providing a range of workshops, concerts, talks and films.  He runs workshops for participants with their laptops to compose their own music and offers lectures at Universities, arts and eco centres.  

Alex has performed at Glastonbury and has a growing fan base that includes celebrities, celebrated composers, ecologists, herbalists, broadcasters and musicians.
