With On Idyl’s second full length album, the sprawling ambient opus Mycorrhiza/Miyake, out July 26, 2024 on Passed Recordings, the guitarist and electronic composer explores the subterranean worlds of mycorrhizal fungi and the symbiotic relationship they have with trees and other plants. On the second half of the album, listeners are catapulted into the inner reaches of the solar system to witness a birth of sorts – as the sun flares up, it emits energized particles through a mass coronal ejection and we follow one such particle on its journey to earth, where it’s subsumed into cedar tree rings.
