Our Terrier introduced the project starting with the history of scientific research on plant intelligence.
Then he introduced Giovanni di Giandomenico, a pianist and composer from Palermo who created 4 wonderful improvised pieces with a young potted oak plant full of life.
Together they also did sound experimentation using synthesized sounds and instruments from Ableton, professional PC software.

Palermo Botanical Garden – April 24, 2022
The Gymnasium building is the main body of the garden designed in the neoclassical style by French architect Léon Dufourny.
After a short and entertaining presentation of the first experiments on plant music in Damanhur in the early 1980s, no less than 3 outstanding artists followed, enrapturing the audience in the completely full h
all.
Margherita Riotta sang by connecting to an oak tree in a sort of man/plant embrace that moved the audience almost to tears.
Then it was Valerio Milone’s turn with his Chinese gu-zheng and harmonic singing.
Finally Lucina Lanzara who involved the audience in a shamanic healing chant together with a harmonious sounding oak tree.
One of the moments of greatest pathos was the final Quartet between the performers, Tita, Valerio, Lucina and the Oak plant.
It was, without fear of contradiction, one of the most powerful experiences we have ever had with plant music.
