A few weeks ago I got the Pocket Scion device, a biosonification tool that has the ability to make your plants sing. Just snap a pair of sensors on a biological entity and get some data in exchange that will be transformed into sounds and/or MIDI signals to feed your DAW or fave synth. Great to create a truly vegan ambient session, put your garden to produce music, or just chill while listening to a salad before you eat it.

I took advantage of the portability of the device to go outside, after some days of heavy rain and windy weather, to test the machine out in the wild. I found a beautiful olive tree after a little walk in the countryside and decided that this guy would be my partner for a jam with the Pocket Scion and the Roland P-6, which worked great as a USB-C audio interface for my iPhone that morning. So, come with me on this journey to find out… HOW THE PLANTS SOUND.
