FAQs

How do plant music technology work?
By applying two electrodes.
One on the leaf and one in the ground next to the plant.
We are able to measure the resistance of a tiny electrical current which already exists inside the plants. The result of this measurement is then converted by an algorithm as directly as possible into a MIDI note or CV (Control Voltage).
Midi notes and CV can be read by standard music software and hardware which in turn can create the sounds.

Can plants hear?
It is scientifically proven that plants react and distinguish between sounds.

They make  audio acoustic emissions around 10 to 240Hz and ultra sonic acoustic emissions from  20Khz to 300KHz.
However it is mostly out of range of human hearing.

Where was Plant Music invented:
