The Cologne-based musician and visual artist Andreas Hirsch, aka TreeSpeedMusic, participated in Watermill's Spring 2010 residency. His project continued the development of an instrument he calls the Palmonica, an electrified palm tree leaf that produces sounds akin to the thumb piano. During the residency, Hirsch collected sounds from the area surrounding Watermill and integrated them into a musical performance featuring his innovative instrument, contact and condenser microphones, effect pedals and other tools. On April 1, 2010, he held a performance entitled TreeSpeedIsland to display the results. Three excerpts from that performance are featured in this segment (10 minutes).
