🌱🌱🌱PLANTS CAN DANCE: THE ALBUM 🌱🌱🌱

We are thrilled to announce the release of Plants Can Dance -THE ALBUM, featuring some of the leading practitioners of what perhaps could now be called a new musical genre: plant and mushroom-inspired music. 🌱🌱🌱

It features artists who collaborate with nature in their music in a variety of ways, many of whom will be familiar to you: Modern Biology @modernbiology101 , Jason Singh @jasonsinghthing , Dr Helen Anahita Wilson @helen_anahita_wilson , OMMA @olgamaximova co-founder of @playtronica and @cantouchthis.studio ) Justin Wiggan @glassedtwin with legendary trumpeter Arve Henriksen @arvetrumpet , Lamine @lamine.wav @balam_ok , @bitmarten and yours truly, Brian d’Souza.

As this music sparks many conversations - nature and music connections, more-than-human perspectives and ways of listening as well as some controversy - we’re also publishing a 28-page, 7500 word mini-book which will accompany the album. It features contributions from all artists alongside founder of @instruomodular Jason Lim and Dr Augustine Leudar @augustineleudar

Read more and listen to the first single by Jason Singh in collaboration with cellist @lizhankscello via all streaming platforms , bandcamp and www.astateofflo.com #linkinbio

Please help spread to the word to anyone you know might be interested!! 💚💚💚

10% of all sales goes to EarthPercent @earthpercent the music industry’s climate charity.

Chapter 392 (Music)

Artist - Brian D'Souza & Various
Album - Plants Can Dance
Track - Hector's Sunflower
Label - A State Of Flo
Year - 2026

Music: @plants_can_dance
Shirt: @ku ibiza

Brian D’Souza’s Plants Can Dance operates like a quiet manifesto disguised as a compilation — a record that treats plant life not as a poetic flourish but as a legitimate generative force. Built around biosonification, the practice of translating electrical activity from plants and ecosystems into musical data, the album gathers a global cast of ambient, jazz‑leaning, and experimental electronic artists and asks them to collaborate with something non‑human. The result is a collection that feels serene, uncanny, and strangely intimate, as if the natural world is nudging the structure rather than simply inspiring it.
Across contributions from Modern Biology & Zekarias Musele Thompson, OMMA, Jason Singh, Helen Anahita Wilson, Justin Wiggan & Arve Henriksen, Lamine, Bit Marten, Balam, and D’Souza himself, the compilation maintains a cohesive mood despite its varied methods. Some tracks drift in meditative arcs shaped by biodata; others pulse with environmental fluctuations mapped into rhythm. What emerges is a sense of expanded authorship - music co‑written with systems older and more indifferent than us. In a landscape crowded with ambient‑adjacent releases, Plants Can Dance stands out by making nature not a backdrop, but a collaborator. by @plants_can_dance

PLANTS CAN DANCE at @kewgardens 🌱🌱🌱🌱💚💚💚

As part of our Plants Can Dance album campaign, we are delighted to host a residency at the world renowned Kew Gardens over the next two weekends.

We’ve been allowed special access to ‘biosonify’ some of the plants in the famous Temperate House.

Over the past few years we’ve been lucky to tour the world with many Plants Can Dance performances, workshops and installations (see 👉🏾 )… but playing at Kew is really the pinnacle!! 🤯
