Music from Nature
Blog #5March 12, 2022, SaturdayIs music found in nature? Can only humans create sound to make music?
What is Music?
Based on New World Encyclopedia:
Music is an auditory art comprised of meaningful arrangements of sounds with relation to pitch, rhythm, and tonality. Another definition of music is "a natural and intuitive phenomenon operating in the spheres of time, pitch, and energy, and under three distinct and interrelated organization structures of rhythm, harmony, and melody."
From Merriam Webster:
Music is vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony.
In a human sense, music is a sound pleasing once heard depending on the mood or even gender.
Perhaps our innate attraction – and universal reactions – to various elements of music since it is created on a foundation based in the natural environment. Recent research has found that the music of both humpback whales and many bird species have surprising similarities to the structures of our human music.
We already know that some animals have evidently make music out of the sound they make. Animal singers use their songs to communicate. They may share the location of food, find one another, or attract a mate. They may sing to scare off a rival or warn others of danger. And, like humans, some animals, including birds and whales, sometimes seem to sing just for the sheer joy of it. Here are some of the animals that sing.

What do you call this music?
BIOMUSIC ……
Biomusic is a form of experimental music that deals with sounds created or performed by non-humans. The definition is also sometimes extended to include sounds made by humans in a directly biological way.
Why am talking about this? Music from nature like the animals, from water, and from wind.
Have you ever wondered, do plants make music? Same with animals and humans, it is a living thing.
While my husband and I are browsing through Facebook, we have come across a video about this.
PlantWave! Have you heard about this?
Tune into nature and listen to the music of plants.
I was so amazed by this technology. Connecting to nature using the device and a headset.
How does it work?
01. PlantWave detects slight electrical variations in a plant via two electrodes placed on the leaves.
02. These variations are graphed as a wave, which is translated into pitch messages that play musical instruments designed by our team.
03. Other characteristics of the wave change the textural qualities of those sounds.
04. The result is a continuous stream of pleasing music that gives you a sonic window into the secret life of plants.
Connectivity & Configuration
PlantWave can be used with a mobile device for easy listening or with pro music equipment for advanced applications.
Benefits of PlantWave:
1. Connect with nature
2. Relax
3. Focus
4. Increase Presence

Our emotions are profoundly tied to musical sounds, while we also have a deeply rooted emotional connection with nature. The music of the natural world provided the foundation for crucial aspects of our human evolution, making our connections with both music and nature innate.
The use of music in environmental education can help to inform students through ideas incorporated in musical lyrics, while also enhancing interest in environmental topics. Music can also enhance perceptions of the value of the natural world, especially when nature itself is recognized as being musical.
Anyways, this is not to market the device. I just want to share it with you because I am so stunned by this technology.
