According To The Big Book Of Bad Art ClubCaved Send a noteboard - 07/05/2010 11:25:20 PM
The following quotes on pages 30-31 explain the process:

from page 30: "In a method called 'seed singing,' Ogier (a separate race of beings gifted with the ability to aid and enhance growing things), Nym, and Da'shain Aiel worked as a team, focusing the One Power to insure perfect growth for every field they 'sang.'"

from page 31 (after describing chora tress as "constructs": The Nym, another construct, were sentient beings with the ability to utilize the One Power for the benefit of plants and growing things."

In other words, the Nym were living ter'angreals. The process probably had the Nym using the OP to focus the combined voices of Ogier and Aiel men blessed with the ability to seed sing to produce crops free from destructive insects or disease. With the last Nym dead at the Eye Of The World, the entire process falls apart. The Tinkers are NEVER going to find the song.

The Song--how it worked and why it was lost--OGIERS ARE NOT ARTIFICIAL saidarisnowtainted - 06/05/2010 03:25:18 AM 2253 Views

There is a song, and maybe Rand will return it to them. FanEditor10 - 12/05/2010 07:31:32 AM 1391 Views
I don't feel like going into the Song nonsense again. As for the Tinkers/Jenn... krassos - 12/05/2010 11:51:34 PM 1582 Views
They DID fail the Aes Sedai; at least in their own eyes. FanEditor10 - 16/05/2010 04:59:38 AM 4215 Views
seriously? damookster - 17/05/2010 01:03:09 AM 1268 Views
The Jenn didn't fail the Aes Sedai. krassos - 17/05/2010 04:06:47 PM 1322 Views
it seems more likely that the sin is giving up the Way of the Leaf Jim - 19/05/2010 11:14:38 PM 1516 Views
FYI, more likely to be Perrin, IMO newyorkersedai - 13/05/2010 02:06:49 AM 1560 Views
because Rand was the very first person ever to see that at Rhuidan? damookster - 13/05/2010 05:04:40 AM 1295 Views
I'm quite sure the Ogier are not artificial bobsledai - 06/05/2010 11:32:17 AM 1421 Views
Yeah, RJ said this even Etzel - 06/05/2010 11:54:23 AM 1483 Views
I thought RJ said something about the Ogier being from another planet? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 06/05/2010 02:44:21 PM 1381 Views
This can be inferred from discussion of the Book of Translation *NM* Marshall - 10/05/2010 10:04:05 PM 701 Views
The song was "Hey Soul Sister" by Train. It was lost when the last ter'angreal Ipod broke. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 06/05/2010 02:41:42 PM 1341 Views

I agree. Mjolner - 11/05/2010 12:35:43 AM 1394 Views

If it weren't a Seed Song, why're the Nym needed? if not needed why did they forget how to sing? Mjolner - 11/05/2010 04:48:12 AM 1311 Views
From where did you get the idea that Nym were needed? Fanatic-Templar - 11/05/2010 05:11:15 AM 1325 Views
I got the part about the Nym from a sub thread in this post. One you commented on. Keep up man. Mjolner - 11/05/2010 05:42:14 AM 1397 Views
My only post in other subthreads is a joke response to File Leader, I think? Fanatic-Templar - 11/05/2010 06:52:22 AM 1408 Views
The Voice is a talent like travelling for Aes Sedai. The capitalized Sing is for Aiel. Mjolner - 11/05/2010 01:41:10 PM 1254 Views
