Dan Loomis’s Songs for the Mother Tree

What can trees tell us about community, love, intelligence and resilience? The scientific community is undergoing an explosion of discoveries of the powerful connectedness, consciousness and aptitude among trees. Our arboreal neighbors are capable of so much more than we have imagined — and take action in ways completely unlike our own - and often difficult for us to perceive. 

Just as trees communicate with each other in a different way……. maybe we should be talking about them in a different way. This project is an attempt to channel the recent human inspiration from trees into a sonic world - to speak through music and art rather than only through science. 

Featuring: Jeff Miles (guitar), Elsa Nilsson (flutes), Mike McGinnis (clarients), Noa Fort (voice), Dam Loomis (bass and compositions)
