Eleanor Mayerfeld and Michael Bell, of Tsuzamen, perform as Elm Duo in fall 2021 during Fermentation Fest: Grassland Edition, organized by Wormfarm Institute and Grassland 2.0 (UW–Madison).

Program Details

Tsuzamen will perform a new composition by rural sociologist and musician Dr. Michael Bell, commissioned by Wormfarm for the Decomposium. Inspired by soil horizons, or soil layers, the work transforms the unseen processes of decomposition and renewal into a musical meditation on the biological, cultural, and ecological relationships that sustain life beneath our feet.
