The public can now enjoy "plant music" thanks to Modern Biology. Veteran musician Tarun Nayar, who had his original training as a biologist, combines his love of sound and the natural world in an ambient project that is immediately uplifting, organismic, and richly contextual. He improvises with the natural vibrations of a particular location and time using modular synthesis, homemade synthesizers, and other analog instruments. These vibrations can be produced by plant bioelectricity, latent electromagnetic radiation, or even the resonant hum of the ground. Having been trained in Indian classical music since his early years, he adapts his musical selections for the season and time of day using the Indian raga system. Through vibration, space, and connection, he hopes to bring the audience into the present moment throughout his performances.
He has over a million followers on social media and over 100 million views on his videos. The Guardian, LA Times, BBC, Genius, Vice, The Verge, and DJ Mag are just a few of the publications that have featured him. The Lava Lamp, Deep Listening, and Music for Plants playlists on Spotify have all given positive editorial reviews to his latest releases. Vancouver Art Gallery, MOCA (Los Angeles), New York Botanical Garden, and Art Basel (Miami) are among the venues that have recently hosted live events. With his "Field Trip" project, Tarun hopes to reacquaint listeners—especially those living in cities—with the natural world. Gathering in a public park, the audience forages before listening to music composed via improvisation using the bioelectric impulses of gathered mushrooms and plants..
