Playable Plants at Brighton Town Hall Gardens

Plant-based instruments will be available for the community to play and create live compositions this November at Brighton Town Hall Gardens. 🪴🎶

Have you ever made music with a marigold? Composed with a chrysanthemum? Or listened to some lavender? 

The Plants are new experimental musical instruments that combine organic matter and digital sensors. Developed by Playable Streets, these plant-based instruments will be available on Saturday 9 November at Brighton Town Hall Gardens for the community to interact with, explore, and make new collaborative compositions.

Swelling with textural waves and rhythmic movement, The Plants will be unlike any musical instrument you have ever seen, heard, or played. 

Everyone is welcome to come along to this free event at Brighton Town Hall Gardens on Saturday 9 November between 11am to 4pm.
