Plant Music - Signs of Life [ Unattended Generative | Moog | Modular ] (Arbhar, Scion, Chord )

“Signs of Life” is the result of a generative music performance that I didn’t think was going to happen. I hooked up a withered Eucalyptus plant to see if the sensors could pick anything up, and to my delight the plant gave off a pulse like a heartbeat, which is the main beat in the song. The plant also controlled the the harmonic structure of the music with its electrical output. After a few hours the plant stopped exhibiting any pulse or signs of activity.

The next day I tried again, moving the sensors to new parts of the plant, but nothing happened. No signs. But the following day I tried again, closer to the base of the plant, and I got a signal. Over several hours the tempo of the music increased by about 13 BPM.

I tested several organic non-living items like pieces of wood, as comparisons, but I got no signal from them whatsoever.

I don’t know how to explain the mysterious and beautiful activity from the seemingly dead eucalyptus plant. One thing is certain though. We can never underestimate another being’s life force.

The steady Hi hat triggered by the Moog DFAM that you hear in the generative piece of music is the rate of activity detected by the Scion from the Eucalyptus and created at the RAW Oscillator output. Chord plays the harmony and bass line while Pam triggers intermittent changes in the progression both effected directly by the Eucalyptus. The Arbhar plays pre sampled textures and the Morphagene cycles Guitar splices via Pam’s Workout.
