Have you ever wondered what plants might sound like? Plant Wave is a simple new device that allows you to ‘hear’ plants – and they are all different. At the same time you can also create a constant stream of relaxing music. It works on any type of living plant.
The way it works:
Two small electrodes are attached to two different bits of the plant e.g. two leaves. These connect to a small device which detects slight electrical variations.
These electrical variations are graphed into a wave which then is translated into a pitch and played through a number of musical instruments designed by the Plant Wave team. Other characteristics of the wave change the textural qualities of the sound.
The result is a stream of pleasing and harmonious music. Have a listen here:
People use the Plant Wave to connect to nature, relax, focus and increase their feeling of presence.
