about

Inspired by Peter Wohlleben’s concept of the ‘woodwide web’ - that mycelium is like an internet network
connecting trees in the forest - the song suggests that we can find a sense of worldwide online community, just
like trees and mushrooms in a forest.

In Mycelium (Step by Step) Waterflower used bio-data, obtained from chanterelle mushrooms found in the forests of Latvia. The funghi acted as both a keyboard for synthesizers and a MIDI-generator - transforming the funghi’s bio-data into music. This gives the mushrooms a voice, as it’s recently been theorised that mushrooms have a language. Waterflower uses these mushroom-sample extraction methods as part of their music composition process, and for “playing on mushrooms and plants” during live shows.

lyrics

Step by step
We inch closer
Back to nature
For some time
Offline
Leave the road
Take the trail
Follow the mycelium

I've been online since 1999 and
If I need some
Its you I find
Not alone when online

Stretching far and wide
One love you will find

If I need some
And you're online
Follow me see what we find

Stretching far and wide
Fairy rings you will find
If I need some
And you're online
Follow me see what we find

Step by step
We inch closer
Step by step
For some time
Step by step
Back to nature
Step by step
Back to nature

So you're a fungi
I like that
Let's connect

All over the interwebs
Feeling just like I'm dialing nature's modem

Step by step
Step by step
Step by step
Free Love
Free Love
Step by step
Free Love

Free Love
Free Love
Step by step
Free Love
Freak Love
