Meet the electronic musicians collaborating with nature through bio-sonification

27 Aug 2024  |  DJ Mag  |  English  |  Electronic Music

Electronic musicians are exploring bio-sonification, a process that translates the electrical currents of living organisms into sound, to create unique musical compositions. Artists like Brian d’Souza and Joe Patitucci are using devices like PlantWave to collaborate with plants and fungi, transforming their natural data into music. This innovative approach not only offers a new way to engage with nature but also raises awareness about environmental issues, as seen in projects like Marcus Maeder's treelab, which sonifies the effects of climate change on trees. The practice is gaining traction, with artists using it to foster a deeper connection with the natural world and challenge perceptions of plant intelligence.
