Everyone I spoke to was open about the plants not really \u201cplaying\u201d the music. But several of them also spoke about the connections they felt while creating with the plants nonetheless. Patitucci says that, though he still doesn\u2019t know exactly what happened, the first time he connected to a plant, he had a strange but profound experience. \u201cI remember hearing it, and I asked Sam [Cusumano, an engineer Patitucci worked with for some time] \u2018Is that the plant?\u2019 And he said \u2018yes.\u2019 And right when he said \u2018yes,\u2019 I had this moment of excitement, and in sync \u2026 I saw this knob turn all the way up. I was just like, \u2018Whoa, wait, was that the plant? Did the plant just respond to me?\u2019 and he was just like, \u2018I don\u2019t know, but that definitely happened, it\u2019s in the data.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
And at installations, these artists tend to find that viewers and listeners respond in turn to the plants and environment. At Smeets\u2019 show, the weather made a particular impact, because when the wind would pick up, the music would start to echo. \u201cPeople noticed that there was some change [in the music] when you could feel the actual change,\u201d he says. At Patitucci\u2019s installations, he noticed that children would act as if they were somehow charging the plants and their sounds, holding their hands up to them. \u201cI just thought that was really cool, that there\u2019s something intuitive in human beings that recognizes plants as beings that we share energy with.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because of that sense of connection, many in the plant music community are focused on experimenting with how much further they can take their inspirations. \u201cI think this idea of using the environment in our compositions is in its infancy,\u201d says Nayar. \u201cI\u2019m so excited about going more deeply in that direction, because it seems like people are open to this idea that the universe is alive and that we can listen to it in the form of music. I think people are open to that in a way that they haven\u2019t been before.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
