thinkikng then growing

I have to give a presentation about my art and I want to bring in this raddish that I grew. this winter was very warm and so the raddish has continued to grow and I just walked by my garden the other day and saw this humongous black dome pooping out of the ground. I was thinking about putting this soundmaker that I took apart inside it so you could play with it and make different soothing sounds, but then after the sleepmachine was in pieces I realized that it didnt really go witht the raddish, like it didnt really belong. so I am tryiing to comnpose some sound just for/about the raddish and Im coming up against a wall of silence. this is what the sucker looks like...

So, you are asking what kind of music a raddish likes to listen to? Or what kind of music we want to hear out of a radish?

Whatever it is, it better be rad.

Oh - I got news for you. This is no raddish. Raddishes are red.

And who the hell are you, "Doc" ???

I don't know what raddishes listen to. Maybe songs about water?!?! ... That's a pretty large raddish. I think that raddish was pretty fuckin' determined to grow. DETERMINATION! Low pitched groaning earth-determination.

it is a spanish raddish and it is black and super spicy, also thinking closer to chester's idea of a soundtrak, like the music that made it what it is today...

doc said...

to solve the problem of super low frequencies would be headphones??? does the raddish wear headphones?

radishes are pretty spicey...for reals...but it looks like u got an xtra spicy one there! i think you should have some spicy sexy salsa rythyms, i think a spicy beat is pretty good

Salsa is to vegetables as death metal is to humans.

But this is a pretty hard core looking vegetable. It might be at home in the meat drawer.

I like this picture - it reminds me of how ginseng is sold at Chinese pharmacy. The ones that resemble a person's body are worth more. Seen?

hmmm.cute...it is a pretty hard core vegetable....maybe it would listen to salsa music, just to be shocking....but like...its also super gnarly looking....so it probably likes stuff that is more hardcore....but then how do we know what a vegetable thinks is hard core?

doc said...

probably tractor sounds! also what is missing from the picture is the texture of the skin, its really human like and also the indentations which are pretty gnarly.

Maybe it could be floating in space. It kind of looks like a planet that looks like a radish. Then maybe you could like fly your ship over the surface and survey it.

I think this raddish obviously listens to rap.
