the secret world of plants (2021)
Sound Artist: Alex Metcalf - The Tree Listening Project
Music: Carol J Jones Musicians: Olga Stezhko, Ligeti Quartet Supported by: The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew 1 May - 19 September 2021 at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew Think trees don't make a sound? Think again. Stand beneath one of the suspended sound domes along our Syon Vista and listen to the inner workings as water moves up through the trees. Four majestic oaks will have sound domes suspended in their branches offering a variety of tree noises and specially commissioned classical music composed by Carol J Jones, and performed by Olga Stezhko and the Ligeti Quartet giving visitors a unique insight into the movements of a tree throughout the day. |
