Hasta La Ideas

When Click & Grow became a part of the YD Roadshow in Chennai, I was both ecstatic and weary. Ecstatic that YD will be showcasing such an innovative product and weary that I was to nurture and grow the plant for the event. A beautiful Basil and Cockscomb smartpot arrived at my doorstep and I got started almost immediately. I’ll skip the details on how-to-grow, as it is explained adeptly in the video after the jump and get to more about the experience of growing my first plant ever!

If I were to sum it up in a phrase, then the experience of growing a Click & Grow Plant was ‘the easiest thing I have ever done!’ I don’t have a green thumb and zero knowledge of fertilizing a plant; however this did not hamper the progress of my baby.

Basically the Click & Grow smart garden is the combination of a water reservoir and a smart cartridge. The cartridge houses the seeds, sensor, soil and fertilizer for the plant and draws in water from the reservoir. A small pump draws in the required water at regular intervals so that the plant doesn’t suffer from under or overwatering.

All you need from your end is water and four AA batteries; that is it! You can literally fill-it, shut-it and forget-it. In addition to the sleek white smartpot, which is a brilliant addition to a modern apartment, there is the award-winning starter kit package, which is an example of astute design and makes Click & Grow an ideal gift.

This disco-infused dance track by French producer Aimedeuxhaine is another release by online label Curious Absurdities. Brimming with soulful melodies and funky bass-lines, L’Eau Tonne has been skilfully put together. The track seems even more impressive when you consider that Aimedeuxhaine is just 17 years old.

L’Eau Tonne is taken from an eight track EP called Somed, which you can download for free here.

Budapest producer and DJ Fine Cut Bodies has to be one of the most wonderfully eclectic artists we’ve featured on Dezeen Music Project. He’s certainly not afraid of combining musical elements from whatever mix of genres takes his fancy. Amendment XVIII is a bass-heavy electronica track with the unmistakeable swing rhythm of jazz music. It shouldn’t work, but somehow it does.

Check out the other Fine Cut Bodies tracks we’ve featured on Dezeen Music Project here.

This quirky electronic pop song by Moscow-based musician Jekka has a simple, repeating arpeggiated synth pattern at its base. It seems unremarkable at first, but transforms into the perfect counterpoint to Jekka’s soaring, oddly melancholic vocals once she starts singing just under a minute in to the track.

Here’s another collaboration between UK producer Mykus and the singer Fruit Shoes, who are fast becoming Dezeen Music Project favourites. Just like their previous tracks Carrots and A Blemish, Electric Fizz is a glitchy mix of stuttering rhythms and mashed up samples that feels like it’s on the verge of falling apart at any moment. It’s a genuinely unique sound and well worth a listen.

If you like what you hear, make sure you check out the other tracks by Mykus and Fruit Shoes that we’ve featured on Dezeen Music Project so far.
