Art in the Park 2022 was a chance for us to demonstrate our latest development in 'self generated sensory music'. LAMP students were on hand to help plug people in to biodata sonification devices. The devices are able to convert minute electrical signals in humans (and plants) and convert them into useful musical control voltage. As you can see from the images here our activity was immensely popular with the general public.
We're hoping to take these systems further afield. LAMP staff and students are ready to provide a system at your event or education setting. Please get in touch, [email protected]

Plant Music Sessions
Yes, plants can play synthesisers! They do it by sending their tiny electronic pulses to a module that then converts these into useful control voltages for the modular synthesiser. One signal may influence pitch or modulation and another will create triggers that can be used to let sound out or make rhythmic events happen.
The sounds themselves are programmed by a human but the system will be silent until it's connect to a plant using sticky electrode pads. This means that plant music is a creative collaboration between humans and plants.
The system at LAMP has been developed to create a new kind of sensory music. People who exclaimed that they "don't like synthesisers" have since changed their minds.

Giant Hide 'n SeekArt in the Park 2021
|
Leamington Spa has a history of innovation in the world of camouflage and Leamington LAMP are continuing to develop the art form with an exciting new project for Art in the Park 2021.
First we photographed plants, bushes and other textures from around the gardens. The images were printed onto fabric to create a series of unique camouflage onesies. With onesie sharing compromised because of covid we devised two different games. Game 1. Saturday and Sunday all day. 8 LAMP personnel will be wearing Jephson Gardens Camouflage onesies as they stroll around the festival. Spot them, photograph them and share your image to twitter @leamingtonlamp or instagram.com/leamingtonlamp/ - Collect all 8 to win a prize!!! Keep an eye on their camouflage though - it’s a clue to game 2! Game 2. 1pm - 2pm Saturday and Sunday our camouflage people will be hiding in the gardens - find them to win more prizes!!! |

Can you spot the onsies?!
