The Plants

This summer you’re invited to make music with a marigold, compose with a chrysanthemum and lean in, listening to lavender.

The Plants are experimental musical instruments that combine organic matter and bespoke digital sensors, inviting everyone to play and create new compositions.

Swelling with textural waves and phasing rhythmic movement, The Plants installation is open to everyone to interact with, explore, and make new collaborative compositions.
