Jason Singh

The Hidden Music Of Trees

Saturday 22 & Sunday 23 May

This is a past event which has now ended.

The Hidden Music of Trees is an augmented reality outdoor installation created by sound artist Jason Singh. Audiences can experience music that has been generated entirely by trees through the interface of mobile phones and a free downloadable app called Artivive.

Each unique soundscape has been created through a process of attaching biosensors to the trunk of the tree which measure small electrical signals generated by the tree. These signals are then converted into musical notes which are played though analogue and digital synthesisers. The result in a unique soundscape generated entirely by the tree.

Explore The Hidden Music of Trees throughout Festival Gardens, Chapelfield as part of our Garden Party Weekend.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
