Over the past year, the filmmakers have been collecting biodata from various mushrooms via a MIDI Biodata Sonification Device that turns fungi data into MIDI information, which is then used to make music and control visuals. The Yellow Oyster video comes from a recent live mushroom audio/visual performance with various mushrooms providing the source material in real time — creating an ambient and meditative experience.

The Octopus Project

The Octopus Project has been releasing joyous party music since 2002, following a musical path that veers through blown-out rock’n’roll, vibrant electronics, surreal pop and expansive psych landscapes. Based in Austin, TX, the group of multi-instrumentalists has released six studio albums, starting with 2002’s Identification Parade. Touring clubs and festivals worldwide (Lollapalooza, Coachella, All Tomorrow's Parties) both on their own and as handpicked support for artists as diverse as DEVO and Aesop Rock, they’ve earned a reputation for explosive live shows and immersive audio-visual experiments. Also active as composers for video games and film, they were awarded the Special Jury Award for Musical Score at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival for their work on the film Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter.
