"Trummerflora, or rubble plants and trees, are a special phenomenon unique to heavily bombed urban areas. The bomb acts as a plow, mixing rubble fragments with the earth, which often contain seeds dormant for a century or more. These seeds come to light and those that can live in this new and special earth grow and flourish."
-Helen and Newton Harrison


The Trummerflora List is an unmoderated, open forum for discussion and announcements relating to the San Diego creative music scene. While improvised and experimental music in San Diego is the focus, we welcome discussion around interdisciplinary practices, socio-cultural issues, and event annoucements and reviews from Ensenada to San Francisco. We wish to develop a stronger sense of community and cooperation amongst creative artists and experimentalists in this part of the world.

This discussion list was organized by members of the Trummerflora Collective:

The Trummerflora Collective is an independent group of musicmakers dedicated to experimental and improvisational musics. The collective embraces the pluralistic nature of creative music as an important means of artistic expression for the individual and the community, and provides an atmosphere that nurtures the creative development of its member artists.
