Tree Sounds
Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 August – multiple sessions between 10:00am – 1:00pm for only £8.
What if you could listen to trees having a conversation?
Tree sounds is a unique event that invites listeners into the inner lives of tree conversations using live tree data that is then translated into live audioscape. It’s designed as a meditative, thought provoking outdoor experience that showcases a different, more holistic way of engaging with the spectrum of activities happening inside a tree, while at the same time inviting audiences to imaginatively explore the new horizons of plant and fungal science.
