Music of Plants Videos
Damanhur's pioneering research into plant bioelectrical communication has produced some of the most extraordinary and moving musical performances in contemporary spiritual culture. Watch and listen.
What Is the Music of Plants?
Damanhur researchers discovered in the 1970s that plants generate measurable bioelectrical fluctuations that can be translated into sound through purpose-built instruments. The result — plant music — is ethereal, moving, and scientifically documented.
Plants used in recordings include oak, birch, rose, fern, sage, lavender, and many more — each with a distinct musical "voice."
Live Concert Recordings
Damanhur performs regular Music of Plants concerts in the Sacred Woods, in community halls, and at international festivals. The videos below capture some of these extraordinary performances.
The concerts have been performed in 25+ countries and have moved audiences worldwide, including those with no prior interest in ecology or alternative culture.
