Episode: Plants that Sing
Pub date: 2019-06-17

Notes from The Listener:

Podcast about sounds explores the synthesiser-filled world of bioacoustics. We know how plants grow, but this piece seeks to understand what they sound like. The biodata generated as plants interact with their surroundings can be channeled into programmes that then produce sounds, and this episode looks at the different ways that artists and scientists have used this technique. It all builds on a sense of closeness and connection between humans and plants — that electric feeling you get in a silent forest or rustling field. As a nice touch, this episode soundtracked in places by music generated by plants

Have you ever wondered what your dog or cat would say to you if they could talk? How about your plant? In this episode we explore the world of bioacoustics and cognitive ecology. Featuring MIDI Sprout creator, Joe Patitucci, and ecologist, Monica Gagliano, who is the author of Thus Spoke the Plant.

Twenty Thousand Hertz is produced out of the studios of Defacto Sound, and hosted by Dallas Taylor.
