Music of the Plants - Hibiscus

Whilst staying in a beautiful house in Cornwallis, Auckland, one morning I found this beautiful surprise just outside our window. This gorgeous HIbiscus had just flowered and it was standing there in all its beauty in the fine New Zealand rain.

The U1 device allows plants to produce sounds and to make music. It does so by measuring the electrical resistance of vegetable tissues and transducing it into a MIDI signal (Musical Instruments Digital Interface). The MIDI signal then controls a synthesizer that produces the actual sound.
The synthesizer in this recording is tuned to 432Hz.

At first, it might be difficult to assimilate the idea that in the end the music produced by the plant is not only an automatic outcome of this electrical connection, rather a sort of "awareness" of the plant was also involved.
This is what the researchers in Damanhur (the developers of the U1 device) have found out in their forty years research. They say that after some time of being exposed to their own sounds, plants seem to become aware that the sound is coming from them and they start modulating it intentionally.
I witnessed this myself years ago while rehearsing for a live performance. I found myself spending hours playing piano together with a plant and I was witnessing the slow development of the process. The subtle changes in the plant's music in response to the sound of the piano and its own sound was becoming more and more evident to me.
