Music of the Plants

In the late 1970’s, in Italy, in the world-renowned cultural community known as Damanhur, a device was developed that can translate the electromagnetic impulse of the plants into melodies. Damanhur was established in the Alpine foothills of northern Italy in 1978 and is populated in part by scientists, doctors, researchers and artists who dedicate their lives to understanding the function of Nature as a living, intelligent force. For many years, Oberto Airaudi (Falco Tarassaco), founder of Damanhur, and his fellow researchers, analyzed bioelectric processes that are conducted by plants, trees and flowers. They discovered that the conductivity is a core indicator of the life force of plants generating key pathways for water, minerals, and other nutrients within trees and flowers. They utilized different bio-feedbacks and devices to demonstrate the plant’s ability to interact with humans. Our most famous experiments are “the plant driving a small cart” and “the plant opening a door.” After many years the researchers decided to focus on plant music. It was felt that music was the most direct and universal channel for making nature’s message understood by all.
