Plants, often overlooked
and underestimated. Scientists
have found they are capable of
memory, counting, sharing and
much more. We have even made
music with them. Contact us for
more info about how we can
help you celebrate these silent
senentinels of life!

Using a system of sensors, we have found a way to
translate the bio-electric signals produced by plants into
sound. Our innovative Plant Orchestra has been shown at
the Manchester Science Festival and the Castlefield
Viaduct and allows people to experience music in a unique
way. Visitors will be able to hear the music that plants
create through their natural processes. Sensors connected
to the leaves or roots of a plant measure the electrical
signals made through natural processes like
photosynthesis. These signals are transformed by music
making equipment and converted into sound.
The installation provides new ways connect with and
understand the natural world. We believe that plants have a
language of their own, and we wanted to find a way to
amplify that language and share it with people.
Our project allows people to hear
the music that plants create
through their natural processes,
and we think it's going to be a
game-changer in the way people
experience music and nature.
