FLORAPHONICS
Plants have something to say to us
Floraphonics is music created by plants, for humans. I use a device called Plantwave to translate electrical impulses generated by plants into MIDI information that can be played by a synthesizer. The synthesizer can be used to craft any sound I want, but the notes are generated and sculpted by the plant itself.
My first album of plant music is made using my houseplants, as well as a small sequoia tree I’ve planted in the front yard.
Soon, I will be releasing my second album of plant music from Puerto Rico, including an endangered fern that only grows on one mountaintop in the whole world.
