  • Botany in Music.

    We talk to Texas-based music producer Spencer Stephenson about his band Botany. Stephenson was inspired to name his band after his wanderings through Fort Worth’s botanical garden in 2009.

    Botany is part abstract hip hop and part psybient—electronic music that combines chill-out and psychedelic elements—and like many psychedelic ambient bands, is named after botanical themes. Do we inhabit nature the way we inhabit the space music creates? Is ambient music a great substitute for sounds of nature when we are urban-bound? How do we translate patterns we see in plant growth to music’s beat? Today, we explore with our guest Spencer Stephenson, his compositions which he hopes are an organic journey of comforts and challenging riffs to explore all the corners of our minds.
