Organic Interface #5



Organic Interface #5 is an interactive sound sculpture that uses two Dwarf Alberta Spruce trees as tactile antennas of a Theremin-like instrument. The trees are housed in a rolling speaker cabinet unit and are automatically engaged when a human body is within close proximity. Body contact with the plant increases pitch. Depending on how the plant is touched, one a can create a range of frequencies. The simultaneous connection of the two trees creates inter-modulations between two oscillators. A wall text explains proper interaction and suggests ideas on how to make music involving multiple participants.
