Mushrooms, flowers, and fruits are the latest trippy things and people are getting high and tripping over them.
No, we are not talking about any kind of drug but the eclectic sounds of plants that people are vibing on these days. Sound engineers and musicians are reconnecting people with nature by sharing videos of how plants sound when they are connected to a sound wire.
Well, if this was not clear enough for you then these videos created by sound artists and musicians will explain it much better:
Musicians plug cables into mushrooms and other kinds of plants to make people listen to the sounds from them. Sound technicians use a kind of device to derive the bioelectricity from the plants and it slowly changes the synth.
Recently, Tarun Nayar, an electronic artist and also a former biologist is garnering huge number of views on his videos where he can be seen making 'organismic music' with the help of plants.
While speaking with The Guardian, Nayar said that this music is created by connecting electrodes and modular synthesisers to plants and measuring their bioelectrical energy.
He further said that this is an environmental feedback mechanism. It’s based on galvanic resistance – the same principle by which simple lie detectors work.
Other than him, artists like Noah Kalos who is popularly known as MycoLyco also makes music using the same technique. He even made music from Mushroom for Stella McCartney's summer 2022 show.
Moreover, plant music artists not just share similar love for music derived from plants but they also agree that these soundscapes might help bring people closer to nature.
