Music from Nandù's plant

Alexandre Ferran tells us about his experiences with an old Kentia, about 10 years old. When he learned about the "Music of the Plants", he felt that the Kentia really wanted to experiment with it. From the music, he feels that she is able to recognize the various members of his family. Using the midi-interface, he was able to assign various words to the notes, including the names of all the family members: No on G#1, Yes on A1, Thanks on A#1, Alexandre on C2, Galileo on C#2, Claire on C4... Claire is the one that has been caring for the plant for several years, and you can hear it. The plant routinely calls to Claire.  When she comes and hugs the plant, you hear "Thanks" in the music. Here is a little snippet of this talking Kentia. Tell us in the comments what you think!

Calling you by name

Another amazing experiment by Alexandre, this time with a Lucky Bamboo. Bamboo played for the first time for a whole afternoon in order to learn how to use the device. 

In the scales Bamboo could play, was embedded the name of Alexandre's family members. At around 10pm, Bamboo started to find the notes ith the names, and Alexandre explained to her that if she goes higher she would find other ones. 

Bamboo kept going up the notes, slowing down and repeating the notes until she finds all the names. You need to hear it to believe it!

Nestor Subirat shares:
A Coleus for healing playing high notes, a Flamingo flower for love and passion playing low notes and myself with intention of peace and harmony playing a Navajo. This was recorded at the rise of the sun at an important astrological moment for the purpose of infinite possibilities. Better quality listening with good speakers and base turned down a bit. Not just a bit of music... But purpose built sound. Hope you enjoy

Music of the Plants is a form of expression, beauty, and artistry like no other. Nature has many incredible ways of communicating but now with the instrumental midi device that transforms the biorhythms of floral life into a musical performance, there is finally an avenue of expression for the plant world. We are actually able to listen to and interact with our own plants and trees and more importantly, our plants and trees are able to interact with us! It is through these unique and important discoveries that we have become dedicated to exploring our relationship with the environment and re-establishing balance on our planet. By expanding our knowledge of the scientific evidence and exploring the magic of plant perception we are able to establish an important connection with nature like never before.
