Prophet Rev 2 Filter Sweeps / ARP2600 Lead - Sunday Synth Jam - Downtempo

Kamilotomusic

"Downtempo Sunday Jam! 🌌 For this jam I started with the Prophet Rev2 filter sweeps and added pad layers from Omnisphere and the CS80 plugin. The Sub Phatty is taking care of the bass + the lead is Arturia's ARP2600. Finally, the drums are different samples and a Groove Agent kit. Hope you enjoy this one and have a nice Sunday! 🙋🏼‍♂️❤

Ps. What do you think of the new studio plant?🌱"

Smokey Quartz - Plant Music 18

"In this plant music video I find a nice chard plant to record some spacey jams. The biofeedback from the chard is picked up by the MIDI Sprout and converted into MIDI notes. The MIDI is then sent through some Ableton and Max4Live MIDI effects before being played by a piano, Buchla Music Easel and a Jupiter 8, all from Arturia. Stick around to the end when things get violent."

MIDI Sprout PlantWave Prototypes Are Here

Published on Oct 22, 2019 MIDI Sprout

"When using the new device, you'll notice it doesn't require a wired connection to your phone or computer, unlike MIDI Sprout. This makes using PlantWave so much easier and significantly reduces cable clutter.

Third, you'll notice it has a USB port (this prototype has micro USB, but the final version will have USB-C). The USB port can be used to charge the device's built-in battery and/or stream data to a computer or phone via a wired connection, if desired.

So, I know what you're thinking... Does this prototype work? Well, have a look for yourself!

So, where do we go from here? Well, we still have some tweaking to do. We may play with configuration / placement of the ports, LEDs and display. And, we may have some final adjustments to de-couple the power circuit from the sensor circuit to ensure no interference when PlantWave is connected via USB. We also have some firmware updates to make that will allow for changes in scale and key to be made on the device, itself, in addition to happening via the app.

So, we're doing this! It's happening, but we still need to meet our $80k goal to actually do it. You know, like, deliver these magic boxes to mailboxes around the world.

So, if you haven't supported yet, pre-order PlantWave today to ensure we reach our goal! And if you have supported, let everyone know! Tell your friends about this campaign and let's bring PlantWave to life, together!"

When birds fly past a plant connected to MIDI Sprout for iPhone

Published on Jan 22, 2018 MIDI Sprout

"We're currently on the island of Flores in Indonesia exploring new lands and connecting to forms of nature we never knew existed.

Here we have MIDI Sprout for iPhone connected to the bougainvillea left of center in our frame. Take special note what happens in the music as two birds quickly fly past.

There are so many exchanges happening outside of the realm of human perception. With MIDI Sprout you can tune into the connections all around you and experience them for yourself as a harmonious music.

Meet the Sonic Artist Making Music with Plants: Sound Builders

Published on Sep 16, 2014 Motherboard

"In this episode of Sound Builders, we went to Los Angeles, to meet with Mileece. She's a sonic artist and environmental designer who's developed the technology to give silent seedlings a portal to their own sonic expression.

Channeling a plant's sentience into an instrument is no obvious feat. Mileece's background as an audiophile and programmer dovetailed to turn a garden into an organic medium for music. She pulls this off by attaching electrodes to leafy limbs, which conduct the bio-electric emissions coming off living plants. The micro-voltage then gets sucked into her self-authored software, turning data into ambient melodies and harmonic frequencies.

It's simply not enough for these green little squirts to just spit out noise. All this generative organic electronic music must sound beautiful, too. As a renewable energy ambassador, Mileece's larger goal behind her plant music is to enhance our relationship with nature. And if plant music can have a pleasing aesthetic articulation then hopefully we all can give a greater damn about our environment.

While some may see the paradox in an organic medium generating electronic music, Mileece does not. She sees this as a symbiotic relationship, a vital one, and one that hints to a larger relationship she's been trying to unify, which is that between humans and nature."

"The patterns obtained from the study on various specimens of plants serve as the basis for designing a sound of coded communication system. The design aesthetics of Pulsu (m) Plant is based on the idea chaosmosis coined by the Italian philosopher Felix Guatarri, who proposes aesthetic subjectivity as a method for generating referential links. Pulsu (m) Plant provides a series of interactive experiences where technology application gives subjects of tools to enhance their ability to perceive the environment..."

Not sure what's going on here, but it seems to involve plants and a MeeBlip Micro.
