Exploring a Sonic Connection to Plants

What does a plant sound like? Perhaps, you’ve never considered that plants could generate sound without an external force like wind.

The creators of Plantwave use a combination of sensors and algorithms to track the biorhythms and water movements within plants to create harmonious music. Each plant and each leaf creates a unique soundscape. The device connects to the plant via two electrodes or clips. Data is gathered and transformed into musical soundscapes, which can be altered and played through an app on your phone or through MIDI synthesizers.
