The Listening Garden

A headphone-based plant music experience in a tropical dome – at night!

Escape the winter with Modern Biology and Friends for three nights in January. We’ll be plugging synthesizers into the weird and wonderful flora of Vancouver’s Bloedel Conservatory and listening to live soundscapes created from their bioelectric fluctuations. Wireless silent-disco style headphones allow us the rare opportunity to wander through the garden by night, spend time with the many resident plants and birds, and reconnect with nature through sound and vibration. Each night features a different guest musician who will be joining me for these live musical improvisations.

Capacity is extremely limited.

Here’s what to expect at this 2 hour experience:

15 minutes: Check in, settle in, get your headphones

90 minutes: A live deep listening musical and experience and Q+A

15 minutes: Check out, return headphones, catch up with friends!

What to bring:

~ curiosity! and a sense of adventure

~ a blanket or chair to relax on if you like

~ water for hydration

Cost: $44
