In botany the Rhizome is 'a root stalk' a stem of a plant found underground, that sends out shoots and roots from its stem. Deleuze and Guattari's philosophical concept based on the botanical rhizome suggests a unity, a multiplicity where ideas interact and create a new 'image of thought'. This release appears to be chaotic and anarchic. Yet I feel the opposite. It promotes the importance of working with people of various disciplines and it celebrates both interactivity and interdependence. While each piece shifts in texture, timbre and temperament, one can understand a peculiar instance of logic. It doesn't espouse a freedom of expression in the usual sense but rather a dependency, a utilisation of parts formed from an independence of thinking. The choices the artists make are all self motivated, they work with in the confines of a complex network of relationship(s). Above all it is an experience that is hard to express and I feel it is more important just to listen and to find yourself lost in these sounds.
