WL//WH Premiere MATTHEW HIRAM

Matthew Hiram is an interdisciplinary artist and composer who merges soundscapes with ecological advocacy. Through immersive compositions shaped by field recordings from iconic natural locations, Hiram explores the deep connection between humanity and Earth’s living systems.

WL//WH is pleased to welcome Matthew Hiram, an environmental sound artist from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to the blog with a premiere of the soul-stirring Official Music Video by Andreas Adege for his new audio-visual exploration “Blossom Song”, released today, April 25, in celebration of Floralia, the ancient festival of flowers and Spring’s awakening, via Permaculture Media/Floralia.

What began as a minimal studio improvisation on Farfisa organ and synthesizer expanded into a deeply textural composition. Over time, the piece took on new forms, integrating glockenspiel, tape manipulation, and electric bass guitar—each element woven delicately into the fabric of sound.

“Blossom Song” has been distilled to its most elemental state. Instruments dissolve into remnants, tones oscillate in slow motion, and over time, harmonic textures evolve into something new—an ephemeral shift, barely perceptible.

Like clockwork, every year people all over the world wait in anticipation for the glory of Spring, when vibrant colors, patterns, and scents explode in a symphony of grace and beauty.

“Blossom Song” is a beautiful, immaculate and immersive ambient track composed as an awakening that shapes a sinuous, contemplative flow of static, subtly droning, mesmeric expanses along with cool harmonious swells, swooshing and shivering swathes, to radiate and layer together like a flower slowly opening toward the sun.

“Blossom Song” captures the quiet unfolding of new life—a meditation on patience, renewal, and emergence. Through subtle evolution and organic movement, the piece mirrors the slow opening of petals, each harmonic layer revealing itself naturally.

The Official Music Video uses Floralia Festival 4K time-lapse cinematography by Andreas Adege and editing by Matthew Hiram (Natural Sound Studios) himself, to bring “Blossom Song” to life through the growth of exotic blooms and stunning flowers. Set against a stark black backdrop, an array of blooms with different textures, colors, and dimensions open in sync with the harmonies of the soundtrack. Watching the clip might trigger thoughts about the metaphysical aesthetic, knowing patience, and thoughtful care that went into creating such a magnificent, natural design.
