The Music of the Plants

The Music of the Plants has been researched as early as 1976. Damanhurian researchers had created equipment capable of capturing electromagnetic changes on the surface of leaves and roots and transforming them into sounds. The desire for a profound contact with nature is also the inspiration for the ‘Plant Concerts’, where the musicians perform to the accompaniment of melodies created by the trees.

As early as 1976, Damanhurian researchers had created equipment capable of capturing electromagnetic changes on the surface of leaves and roots and transforming them into sounds.The trees learn to control their electrical responses, as if they are aware of the music they are creating. Soon there will be a miniaturised piece of equipment available to the public, so that this profound experience of communication with the plant world can be shared with whoever desires it.

Concerts of Tree Music are held regularly in Damanhur and have been presented at festivals in Europe, India, the United States and Canada.

An interesting experiment is presently being undertaken in collaboration with the Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Florence.Several of these experiences have already been made into collections on the musical CDs produced by the label Val Ra Damanhur.
