Sonic botany is an ongoing project that I have been developing over the past few years. It incorporates natural artefacts: dry leaves, pods, flowers, branches, rocks, bones and other organic findings. These are used as musical instruments that are played on with a scientific/musical tool: tuning forks in various frequencies. The vibration from the tuning forks resonates through the natural artefacts which amplify the vibration and – via sound – reveal the texture, size, material and condition of the organic matter. This process generates new sonic material, new context and new forms of musical composition. The practice developed into several compositions and projects, a performance practice, a notation system and a way of listening. Here I share some of the insights I gained through this process, the tools and the compositional framework.

声波植物学实地指南：关于生态合成的思考

声波植物学是我在过去几年中一直在开发的一个持续项目。它融合了天然人工制品：干燥的叶子、豆荚、花朵、树枝、岩石、骨头和其他有机发现。这些被用作使用科学/音乐工具演奏的乐器：各种频率的音叉。音叉发出的振动通过放大振动的天然人工制品产生共鸣，并通过声音揭示有机物质的质地、大小、材料和状况。这个过程产生了新的声音材料、新的背景和新的音乐创作形式。这种实践发展成几个作品和项目、一种表演实践、一种符号系统和一种聆听方式。在这里，我分享了我通过这个过程获得的一些见解、工具和构图框架。
