In Search of the Primeval Chief Leaf and its Surrounding Sound
While searching for the primeval Chief Leaf a faint notion had
brought JP to the treasury of the Bruchhausen Castle. In this
very place, she believed actually having seen the leaf while
dreaming. She carved a model out of wood and captured the
sound of the village.
Meanwhile in Arone and Roseneck some other man meticulously
scoured the land. Wasn..t an Old Splendifolia waving over
there? FS approached it, no, it wasn..t the Chief Leaf, but
the wind released a tune from the plant. It spoke of another
primeval leaf researcher FS had never heard of before. Once
home FS asked here and there. ôJP is her name but, where she
is we don..t know, however we know someone who knows.ö And so
it happened that one day disguised as a traditional letter a
printed email arrived at the treasury of Bruchhausen Castle.
"Another primeval Chief Leaf researcher?" JP was thrilled
packed her bags, took the carved phantom of the leaf and the
sound of Bruchhausen and went back home, for FS lived in the
same place as she.
They met, compared notes and examined the collected material.
"Too much!" JP exclaimed. Obviously FS had captured and picked
up some really essential elements, alas, had put one on top of
the other and in the first flush of excitement had added
things here and there, leaving everything intermingled. Well
this meant meaningful elements had to be carefully distilled
from this confused cluster. A finicky job indeed. And while JP
listened hard and quietly, checking against her findings,
eventually delivering the sheer from the soul-impoverishing
tracks, FS prepared a sumptuous feast for both of them.
After all the dragging, dropping and picking the final sound
harvest seemed to be meager. However to their surprise from
this work a strange and stirring appeal arose. Yes, in their
mind..s eye afar they saw the Old Splendifolia, at first
swaying softly, then more boldly to the sounds of its
old-growth site. Her cup running over, JP finally hummed and
sang out loud. Pouring to FS.. ears sounds and tones all
immediately blended together, becoming inseparable. JP later
on gave shape to words having an almost identical phonetic
contour as the sketched sound-patterns. These now tell of the
adventures and observations during the search for the primeval
Chief Leaf. From here on out they go on expeditions and sound
lecture tours together under the name Old Splendifolia.
