Larry Mullins, longtime collaborator with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Iggy Pop and The Stooges, Swans & The Residents, has created a unique and personal solo album of minimal electronic sci-fi vignettes based loosely around both the writings and life of the German writer and botanist Adelbert von Chamisso.

The album, entitled Camissonia, is named after Chamisso’s namesake plant species, penned by fellow botanist Johann Friedrich Eschscholtz.

It is mostly an instrumental soundtrack journey through several remarkable events from Chamisso’s book “Peter Schlemihls wundersame Geschichte” (The Man Who Had No Shadow 1814) and his real life overseas voyage aboard Otto von Kotzebue’s ship The Rurik during 1815-1818 as a botanist.

The album is adorned with three rare woodcuts from 1915 & 1919 by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, who shared a similar fascination with Chamisso 100 years after Chamiso’s book release.

Now another 100 years after Kirchner’s Expressionist masterwork "Peter Schlemihl Cycle", Camissonia further’s the Chamisso lore, this time interpreted in music.
