Our Story
Masterplants was born in 2018 by a vision of creating art with plants.
An art representing humanity’s return to nature.
A mythical narrative in which humanity had lost its intrinsic connection with nature and as a consequence also with themselves.
Developing the necessary technology and expertise to convey a direct experience of the inner life of nature was paramount.
So in 2019 the first Multi-Plant prototype device was born with the name “Symphony”. A device allowing up to 8 plants to play symphonic music.
Then after learning to use the Symphony and designing suitable soundscapes.
We took off on a world tour, reconnecting plants and humans through music.
It was incredible experiencing the publics enthusiasm and enlightenment when participating in plant concerts.
So we decided to continue development of an advanced plant music device, enabling artists to create music with Plants.
The MPS-1 will be available on this site in 2022 and custom devices can be ordered on demand.
As we continue the world tour.

decorative things in a pot.”

The Future
The many uses of plant music, makes it possible for Masterplants to work with multiple organizations. Bringing about musical reconnection with the plant world.
Artists, Social entrepreneurs, Techies, Communities, and Organizers are working to form a living network.
Each contributing to a whole greater than its parts.
We have launched the S-2 Plant Music device to our community and continue our world tour, revealing new surprises with our collaborators.
