Nightshade
CD/DL
FDR99

Helen Anahita Wilson’s Nightshade is an album rooted in the strange intelligence of the natural world.

Built around the Solanaceae family, a lineage of plants associated with nourishment, poison, ritual, medicine and myth.

Nightshade transforms biological signals into sound. Using plant biodata to trigger and shape instrumentation, Wilson creates a series of duets where the organic and electronic dissolve into one another.

Across nine pieces, environments shift between delicate, hallucinatory and quietly ominous: edible species sit beside toxic relatives, field-like textures fold into electroacoustic composition, and moments of intimacy give way to something unknowable.

Experimental without losing its sense of wonder, Nightshade is less a document of plants than an attempt to listen with them.
