Yarrow from ASTROMUSIK | AUDIOMANCY by Ezra Sandzer-Bell

Yarrow - Achillea Millefolium

The arrangement for this Yarrow track was inspired by Jean Michel Jarre's albums Oxygene and Equinoxe. I kept the arrangement minimal because of how I experience yarrow's medicine in my body.

Used traditionally in Chinese culture for the purposes of divination, yarrow stalks are inseparable from the history of the Yi Jing / I Ching. For me, the plant medicine quiets my mind and opens up my heart.

The word Millefolium means thousand-leafed. I chose a texture for the keyboard which reminded me of water blowing through thousands of tiny little yarrow leaves. You can hear the plant's melodic cryptogram performed by the keyboard's soprano voice.
