The Hidden Music Of Trees
Saturday 22 & Sunday 23 May
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.
