Did you know that plants can play music?
The U1 device for "The Music of the Plants" is based on a variation of the Wheatstone bridge, where 3 fixed resistances an 1 variable one are used to measure electrical differences between the roots and the leaves of a plant.
These differences can then be translated into a variety different signals, including MIDI for digital musical instruments (like a synthesizer).
Every living being produces electrical potential variations and in animals and humans these can be related to different emotional states.
The project of the music of the plants aims at investigating in an artistic way the reactivity of plants to their environment and their ability to communicate and learn.
This research is not scientific in the strict sense of the word, but the implications here are of high value in terms of ethical and ecological awareness. We can improve our relationship with our environment by understanding the presence of something we can call “consciousness” in plants.
As an example, here is one of my recording sessions:
