Premise
In a not so distant future, following the breaking down of agriculture, some survivors attempt to bioidiversify the environment. They carry with them aprons around their waists, harvesting seedpods as they wander, and inadvertently spreading the seeds at the same time. The scent is subtle, and always changing as they foragers move through different environments.

Most songbirds are capable of singing two notes at once as they posses two seperate vocal chambers. This makes their songs very complex and hard for human ears to truly understand at full speed
Northern Cardinal Birdsong
Northern Cardinal Birdsong
By analyzing bird songs and finding the pitch, I was able to recreate the rough sounds of a bird song using an tone synthesizer on my computer. This was the inspiration for this piece
My scent is supposed to replicate the interaction between the true bird song, and the computer as it “learns” to sing. For this:
1pt Sweet
1pt Stone
½ pt Green Accord
½ pt Dark woods
Aluminum foil

I have brought together a hundred plants to fill the courtyard.I have set up scents and perfumes at porch and gateBut from the Nine Doubts*in troupe to fetch her,Spirits are coming, many as the clouds.I drop my sleeve into the river,I cast down my thin dress on the shores of the Li.On a flat island I pluck the galingale *Meaning to send it to her that is far away.Though I know that the time will not so quickly come again.For a while I loiter, pacing to and fro.
