About the work

I starting writing this piece in the early spring and was going back and forth between composing and getting seedlings ready for the warming earth outside. There seemed to me to be some kind of corollary between the strange little sound world I was finding with the ruler and the mysteries of soil and insects and sprouting seeds.
