Currently a PhD candidate in Composition at the University of California-San Diego, Whiteley’s practice spans recordings, installations, performances, and scores, a body of work as diverse as the fungal webs that inspire it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross seven tracks, Whiteley explores interconnected sound worlds shaped by mycelium networks, rhizomatic structures, and other unseen systems that sustain life. Rooted in experimental electronics, minimalism, ambient and IDM, the record imagines sound as ephemeral connective tissue capable of reshaping how a listener might experience time, memory, and futurity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of Whiteley’s work is an excavation of what lies beneath perception, the felt but unspoken currents of emotionality and subtle experiences that dwell in the unconscious. Mycorrhizal Music channels these hidden threads into a speculative ecosystem of kinship and exchange, where joy, play, and spirituality interlace like branching hyphae beneath the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMycorrhizal Music has been conceived as kinetic ambient music, designed to move with the listener while walking, riding trains, driving, cooking, where everyday rhythms align with shifting sonic textures, reminding them of hidden, interconnected, mycelial webs of spiritual vitality beneath the surfaces of daily activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuided by a vision of speculative ecology and interspecies resonance, it thrives in contrasts: tracks like Rhizomatic Harpists and Whispered Messages in Tapestried Fields of Fluid Motion pulse with fluid momentum, while Kaleidoscopic Patterns of Emptiness Dancing drifts into fragile stillness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith artwork by Kenta Senekt and mastering by Brandon Hocura, Mycorrhizal Music extends Métron Records’ ethos of cultivating subtle, interconnected sound worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA1\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRhizomatic Harpists\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e7:10\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA2\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMusic For Moving And Being\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e4:32\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA3\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhispered Messages In Tapestried Fields Of Fluid Motion\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6:41\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB1\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKaleidoscopic Patterns Of Emptiness Dancing\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e4:55\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB2\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eInterspecies Magicians\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6:34\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB3\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMycelial Circuit Board Dreams\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6:05\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB4\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDancing Air\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5:20\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"METRON","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":44440249696355,"sku":"020543016986","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2553\/7123\/files\/image_242e7796-225a-4ac4-86df-c12d6001bc5a.png?v=1785898060","url":"https:\/\/lunchboxrecords.com\/products\/020543016986","provider":"Lunchbox Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
