This work is attributed to "seed( ) and Tetsu Inoue".
Conceived as a function, "seed( )" was David Yann Robert's punctuated alias (1998-2008) used to attribute both plant and human for their contributions to the resulting work. Approximately 200 sounds synthesized using plant signals and modified animation software were arranged and composed by Tetsu Inoue. The work appears on the limited edition, Music for Plants CD (compiled by Peter Coffin) with Mice Parade, No-Neck Blues Band, HiM, Syntony, Deakin & Geologist, Ariel Pink, Deila R.
