The compositions become grounded through both AI research as exerts of the essay below. Thus, it the companions intend to highlight the individual journey encompassed in the collective as a whole, where the collective are in the space and are guided through the space but it is the individual journey in these spaces that allows for their own understanding of the space and its meaning to them.

The notion of the natural world as a conductor to the individualised and collective human orchestra is one that is grounded through the interconnectedness and symbiotic nature of the humble daily life and the forgotten elements that can become the transformative presence. Throughout history, humans have been innately and intimately at one with the natural world, relying on its flora and fauna, its beauty, grotesque and hidden elements for our one survival and at times impulsive progression. Yet, it is the rapid urbanisation and technological advancement that have distanced us from the natural world while unilaterally harvesting all that it provides. Humanity has become distant from the very source that sustains it.
Schafer's eco-theatre and it's incorporation of nature into artistic soundscape and soliloquy ground the profound impact nature can have on emotions, perceptions, and creativity of the everyday. Nature's symphony of sounds, colours, and textures become a backdrop of a multi sensory experience that targets a primal level, awakening and a sense of wonder and humility. Schafer's productions highlight nature as an active participant, influencing the expected and unexpected in unpredictable ways. Embracing the unpredictability and imperfection that come with the natural world becomes a stark contrast to the highly controlled and sterilised environments of modern world. Yet, the natural world provides a space for reflection, introspection, and healing. An immersion into the natural world results in solace and respite from the chaotic pace of modern life. Nature's calming effect allows the orchestra to gain perspective and clarity, reconnecting with the inner selves.
The natural world becomes the bearer of uniting communities. Schafer's emphasis on collaborative performances champions the interconnectedness of all living beings whereby the lack of boundaries or divisions, and when engaged with it collectively, become a reminder of the shared responsibility in preserving the environment for future generations.
The adaptability and resilience of the natural world becomes a guiding principle as to how one should navigate life's challenges and uncertainties with flexibility and grace. The role of nature in shaping lives is one that cultivates a deeper appreciation for the environment as well as to advocate for its protection, regeneration and continuance. Schafer's eco-theatre serves as a call, urging the reevaluation of the human relationship with nature and to recognise its immense value in fostering creativity, healing, and a profound sense of belonging.

The proverb "birds of a feather flock together," can be understood as those with similar interests, personalities, shared experiences, ect tend to mutually attract each other. This notion can be understood as the chosen family treat, whereby the flocked nature of the relationship can be seen as a family like interface where a genome link is voided and replaced.

Patten occurs naturally and spontaneously throughout nature and in daily life. Yet what is perceived as something highly spontaneous has an great amount of ordered motion where the pattern is highly structured and ordered in order for it to be continuous. Our habits and the patterns that occur 'naturally' in nature are rather that of an ordered set of motions that ensure these patterns continue.
