Numerous scientific studies have shown that plants react to sound waves: a mechanical impulse that stimulates the membrane surrounding these multicellular organisms. As a trained landscape gardener, Lawrence makes use of this knowledge and creates with the aid of a computer, tape recordings, vibraphone, and percussion, subtle acoustics that combine research into the networks of permacultures with his musicmaking in tangible form. His sound installation “Music for Plants (ICC)” in Saal 2 follows on from the album he released last year ‘Music for Plants I+II’ (Dial) and allows this to be appreciated afresh.
