Living Circuits - Plant Music Performance and Discussion Location: 12-Foyer M (AW) Chair: Paul Geßner "Living Circuits” merges electronic live music with the hidden biological processes of the plant world. Through biosonification, subtle fluctuations within living plants are translated into musical parameters and integrated into a live performance system.
The result is a generative live set between control and unpredictability, where plants are not mere visual artifacts but active agents within the performance. Pulsating rhythms, evolving textures, and organic soundscapes emerge in real time and continuously shift, interacting with elements of electronic dance music. |
