Sylvia II. Sig Wilder and Just Janie

Live Recording at Moxham Ave in Te Whanganui-a-tara
Sylvia II, written and composed by Sig Wilder, and performed with Just Janie is a response to reading Sylvia Legris's poetry collection Garden Physic. With each page Sig, who is also a gardener, discovered a wealth of complex plant references and botanical histories. He was inspired by the botanical glossolalia seemingly of Sylvia's own invention and the collection's ability to create music from language. 'How to write about flowers without the nauseating sentimental phraseology?' Legris writes. This is song is an exploration of the language of plants and the haunting relationship between poet and reader.
