223: Can We Hear What Plants Are Feeling? Featuring the Master Plants Orchestra
I sit down with Tritone to explore the world of plant biosonification and the concept behind Master Plants Orchestra, an orchestra played entirely by plants. Using electrodes placed on plant leaves, Tritone converts bioelectric signals from up to eight plants into musical notes, creating soundscapes that range from calming meditation music to experimental compositions that challenge traditional human ideas of melody and scale. The conversation dives into how plant electrophysiology changes with species, water, light, and environmental conditions, and how those subtle shifts can be translated into sound. Tritone also shares the history of plant music, from early experiments in the Italian spiritual community of Damanhur to modern open-source tools being developed with Fatty Recording Co. The episode expands beyond music into education, science, AI, mushroom biosonification, and the deeper question of how technology can help humans reconnect with the natural world by listening more closely to plants, fungi, and the hidden electrical conversations happening all around us.
