Records
By converting changes in electrical conductivity of plants into audio, PlantsPlay allows trees, flowers, plants, and mushrooms to sing.
PlantsPlay detects slight electrical variations in a plant via two electrodes placed on the leaves.
These variations are graphed as a wave, which is translated into pitch messages that determine notes played on musical instruments designed
by our team.
Other characteristics of the wave related to a plant's activity level change how those instruments are played, including tempo and effects.
The result is a continuous stream of pleasing music that gives you a sonic window into the secret life of plants.

Science
Tecnology
The circuitry used in PlantsPlay is the same as that which is used in a polygraph machine. It’s what’s called a psychogalvanometer and was originally developed to measure galvanic skin response (GSR) on humans. PlantsPlay has adapted this technology to detect micro-fluctuations within plants.

Generative Music
Much of a plant’s activities involve electrochemical reactions. A plant is constantly responding to the changes in its environment, which can affect the music it creates.
This is why you may find your plant’s music varies with temperature, light, and level of hydration. It also explains why you might hear a dramatic change in the patterns created by your plant while listening for an extended period of time, for example from morning to evening.
Subheading
Plant music can amplify many of your daily routines and practices. Our customers report profound results with yoga, meditation, creative work, music production, outdoor activities, and more.

NASA
It’s even used by NASA to give us a better understanding of our place in the Universe. Just have a listen to the above sonification of data from our sun. This allows us to experience the flowing exchange of gas on our nearest star as sound.
