Desert Songs translates biodata from organic material into MIDI. Tiny changes in electrical current - the plants act as variable resistors. Cacti was used for this project due to their very sparse and sporadic activity. The cacti garden includes a few different specimens hooked up to probes, and outputs for individual plants can be changed as you go using patch points upfront. The MIDI signals are sent to a Korg NTS-1. A custom MIDI visualizer was made mimicking chloroplasts under microscope.
