WHY USE PLANTSPLAY?
Taking time to listen to plants can help one escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. This practice becomes a ritual that shifts the focus from daily tasks to connecting with nature. By slowing down and tuning into the subtle changes in plant music, we enter a state of heightened presence. This increased presence is linked to reduced stress, enhanced creativity, greater clarity, and a sense of openness.
WHAT DOES PLANTSPLAY MEASURE?
PlantsPlay detects microfluctuations in conductivity between two points on a plant. This conductivity is largely influenced by the amount of water between these points, which fluctuates as plants photosynthesize and move chloroplasts. These variations are graphed over time, creating a wave that is then translated into pitch. These pitch signals are used to control specially designed instruments. Each note you hear reflects a real-time change within the plant. The larger the gap between consecutive notes, the more significant the change occurring within the plant.
WHY DO WE DO IT?
The project is inspired by the desire to reconnect the human being to a slower and more conscious biorhythm, just like that of plants. Since we have moved away from natural environments, we have lost the ability to connect with nature and ourselves.
The PlantsPlay project, through plant music, wants to give people a tool to reconnect to the biorhythm of nature and live in well-being.
WHY DO WE DO IT? WHY LISTEN TO PLANTS?
Taking a moment to listen to plants can offer a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. This practice transforms into a ritual that shifts focus from daily tasks to a harmonious connection with nature. By slowing down and attuning to the delicate variations in plant music, we enter a state of heightened awareness. This increased mindfulness is linked to reduced stress, enhanced creativity, greater clarity, and a sense of openness.
DO DIFFERENT PLANTS MAKE DIFFERENT SOUNDS?
Each plant creates its own unique patterns, melodies or 'songs'. Even different leaves of the same plant can generate different patterns, which can change over time. We recommend spending extended periods with a single plant to observe its evolving musical patterns.Each plant creates its own unique patterns, melodies or 'songs'. Even different leaves of the same plant can generate different patterns, which can change over time. We recommend spending extended periods with a single plant to observe its evolving musical patterns.
Furthermore, plants of the same species have similar but never the same musical patterns.
WHAT INFLUENCES THE PLANTS?
According to the latest scientific research, plants have more than 15 senses. They have developed them because they are living beings that cannot move like us animals. So they need to solve problems while standing still and to do this they need to perceive the reality around them very well. Plants are influenced by many factors, such as the amount of light, water, soil quality, but also by communication with the external environment.
If we touch the plant, we can notice the change in musical patter. We also all emit heat and chemicals from our skin, and chemical signals are the main language of plants. All these factors contribute to changing the electrical state of the plant and thus the music generated.
PLANTSPLAY NOTIFIES ME OF THE PLANT'S HEALTH?
PlantsPlay is designed to detect electrical variations in plants and convert them into musical notes. The plant vitality icon and graph tell you whether a plant is very active at that moment or is at rest. It may happen that some plants have zero electrical variations at certain times and therefore do not produce music.
PLANTSPLAY LISTENS TO THE SOUND OF THE PLANT?
PlantsPlay detects the plant's electrical microfluctuations and converts them into musical notes, played by the app with the musical instrument of your choice.
PlantsPlay detects the plant's electrical microfluctuations and converts them into musical notes, played by the app with the musical instrument of your choice.
So the plant is the composer who writes the musical score in real time, based on its biorhythm, and the app is the performer who plays them with the musical rules you choose.
ARE SENSORS BAD FOR PLANTS?
PlantsPlay is not harmful to plants, in fact a very low voltage micro-current passes between the sensors, imperceptible to both plants and humans, which serves to detect electrical changes in the plant.
IS PLANTSPLAY A SCIENTIFIC TOOL?
PlantsPlay takes long-established scientific knowledge and enhances its capabilities with modern digital and mobile technology. Biofeedback circuits, also known as galvanometers, were used extensively in the 1960s during FBI interrogations to detect whether a person was lying to certain questions. Cleve Backster applied this technology to plants, observing that plants seemed to react to thoughts and emotions.
Russian scientists at that time also conducted similar experiments and obtained similar results. You can find many experiments on the subject in the book 'The Secret Life of Plants'. In the last twenty years, many research centres have finally proven that plants have more than 15 senses and perceive reality in depth.
CAN I LISTEN TO THE PLANTS WITH A BLUETOOTH SPEAKER OR HEADPHONES?
You can simultaneously connect to your phone with the PlantsPlay app, the device and a bluetooth speaker or headset. You can also connect a sound system via cable to your phone.
CAN I USE THE GENERATED PLANT MUSIC FOR MY SONGS OR EVENTS?
Yes, you can use it as you wish. We do not want to restrict anyone in the artistic use of the device and encourage use in all its forms.
At most, ask the tree or plant if you can use the music it has written for your own commercial purposes :)
CAN I CONNECT PLANTSPLAY TO HUMANS?
The device is calibrated to detect the electrical microfluctuations of plants but can also detect those of all organic beings such as fungi, bacteria, lichens and animals.
DO CRYSTALS AND STONES GENERATE MUSIC?
Some types of stones and crystals can generate very few notes per hour, due to changes in humidity, light, heat and thus electrical conductivity.
DO YOU HAVE AN AFFILIATE PROGRAM?
Sure, if you want to cooperate with us, send an e-mail to support@plantsplay.com
Please note that we only sell the device from our website and will only accept online collaborations.
