FYI: What about Permaculture and Music? Architecture and Music?

I have plans to include essays on this blog about applying music to permaculture, green architecture, and other eco-friendly practices.  I hope to interview architects and landscape designers and healers who work with plants, animals, and nature using sound/music as a tool. If you know of anyone I could interview for this research and to include on this blog, please contact me at wholemusicexp at gmail.com Thank you.
