Nature has its own rhythm… and now you will be able to listen to it. This August 8, Mexiflora, an incredible concert of music generated by plants will take place at the Fonoteca Nacional.
Admission is free and no registration is required, and you should take into account that this concert will have a limited capacity of 80 people, so you should arrive in advance. The event will begin at 7:00 pm at Francisco Sosa 383, Barrio de Santa Catarina, Coyoacán.
Plant-generated music concert? We explain
This will be a unique sensory experience where more than 140 musical pieces -composed from the electrical activity of plants from 20 Mexican states- will come to life through sound.
How is this possible? The music was created by converting the circadian rhythms of the plants – biological cycles that generate electricity – into MIDI data, transforming the vital energy of the specimens into sound compositions.
The plant species involved belong to the Gardens of the National Network of Ethnobiological Gardens of CONAHCYT (SECIHTI), and the project aims to raise awareness about conservation and foster a connection with nature through active listening.
The Mexiflora concert will feature the participation of Sol Cristians Niizawa, Jorge David García and Jalil Cercantes “Jaxcan”, who have developed this innovative project with the support of the Sistema de Apoyos a la Creación y Proyectos Culturales (SACPC).
More than a recital, this concert of music generated by plants is an artistic manifestation that unites science, technology, art and ecology. An opportunity to hear how the biodiversity of our country sounds from an unprecedented perspective.
