Come learn about biosonification, trying hands-on modular synthesizers using plants and other living organisms. Biosonification uses the electrical signals and changes in conductivity created by the organism as an input to modulate sound frequencies. Living organisms don’t create the soundwaves, and they don’t “make music” - instead they provide input that you and other musicians can translate into using synthesis! You’ll get to find and choose plants, play around with synth modules and learn from T’uy’t’tanat Cease Wyss, InDigiMediArtist.
We’re grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwlitsum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.
We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
