Experience the high strangeness of plant music—plants that “sing.” For years musician Nico Georis has used biofeedback instruments to  connect a variety of flora to analog synthesizers, letting their biodata create music that is strange and existentially gorgeous.

Nico’s work in plant music happened during a six year span, and was  set in motion by a simple desire to find a fresh supply of long-form  ambient music for relaxing to at home. After a chance encounter with  an obscure technology dating back to the 70’s allowing plant  electricity to be converted to MIDI data, Nico began experimenting with using his house plants to generate endlessly evolving ambient music. “I was looking for music that I couldn’t find, and I realized the plants & I could make it.”

Here was an opportunity for another type of ambient music, one not  born of the human brain, to emerge. A music that moves beyond  human thought forms all together, and leans deeply into the green.  Culled from hundreds of plant songs recorded between 2016 – 2022 both at home and in the wild Plant Music Vol. 1 and 2 represent the “greatest hits” of Nico’s plant music years.

Plant music Vol. 3 marks the newest installation, showcasing music generated from psilocybin mushrooms, known by many as “Golden Teachers”.
