The Musical Plants by Playable Streets

Have you ever made music with a marigold? Composed with a chrysanthemum? Or listened to some
lavender? Connect with nature! Reach out and touch real plants to play these unique organic instruments.

The Musical Plants are new experimental instruments that combine organic matter and bespoke digital sensors developed by Playable Streets. For the first-time these plant-based instruments are available for the public to play and create new live compositions.

Swelling with textural waves and phasing rhythmic movement, The Musical Plants will be unlike any
musical instrument you have ever seen, heard or played. The Musical Plants installation is open to
everyone to interact with, explore, and make new collaborative compositions.

Catch The Musical Plants by Playable Streets at the Growers Stage Saturday 7th March at 1:30pm and Sunday 8th March at 1:30pm.

7 & 8 Mar
1:30pm - 2:30pm
