THE PLANTSLATOR
Bio-sonification
The Plantslator translates electrical signals occurring within plants into sound. Eros Risiglione was inspired by the idea of communicating with a hill of special significance to him. Bio-sonification allows us to hear plants communicating with each other. Each plant has its unique patterns that produce distinct sounds, enabling us to experience the natural world in a different way. The technology behind Plantslation has potential applications in agriculture and forestry and can reshape the way we manage natural resources. Eros hopes that we can gain a deeper understanding of how plants communicate with one another and respond to environmental changes.
By listening, we can appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world more and strengthen our relationship with it.

A live ambient set of plant music ending with a cathartic release during the Transition days in Luxembourg. We jammed with the coin plant and listened to the wonderful sounds of the hibiscus. Thank you for this amazing experience. Watch a short video here

PLANTSLATOR x ECO JAM
15-06-24
An addition to ecological poetry and a jam session at Tolhuistuin in Amsterdam visitors were able to experience bio-sonification firsthand. We listened to the bassy coin plant. Everytime it was touched it’s sound changed, this resulted in lovely reactions and a very interesting mix of sounds.
