WILD ALCHEMY RADIO
Wild Alchemy Lab is a publishing platform and arts collective from botanical studio Mama Xanadu, a vehicle in which to navigate our fractured relationship with nature and the cosmos through both a scientific and esoteric lens. I’m your host and founder, Jemma Foster. This radio series is in conjunction with the Wild Alchemy journal and is a chance to go deeper into topics with contributors, expanding on articles and artwork from the print edition. Each series explores a fundamental element of earth, air, fire and water. Each episode begins with a recording of a plant chosen by our guest, captured using a device that measures the electromagnetic fluctuations within the leaves and roots, converted into MIDI code and played through a synthesizer. We end with an invitation – an act of co-creation and participation that might be in the form of a meditation or immersive exercise. THIS is the Earth series.
