Noah Jolly set up a device to react to the plant’s electrical impulses by moving a pen up and down on sheet music, which indicates where the notes should be.
A Manhattan electronics wiz is using his tech skills — and a house plant — to make music.
In addition to carbon dioxide, plants generate electrical signals in response to light, water, and other aspects of their environment.Jolly set up a device — known as an XY plotter machine — to react to those electrical impulses by moving a pen up and down on sheet music, which indicates where the notes should be.
“The plant gets a lot more active . . .when the plant is getting water and sunlight. But if it’s dried out and not getting any stimulus and sitting in a dark corner you get very few changes, longer slower notes,” Jolly said.
