JAKARTA - With creativity as the main element, music is very interesting and will not run out to continue to be discussed. Not to mention, if creativity is juxtaposed with science, new things that may not have been thought of before will emerge. That's what Martin Noble-James, a farmer from Felbrigg Hall near Cromer, Norfolk, England can see.

Martin created a synthesizer to experiment making music from plants, which later became called bio-personification. He also intends to bring the experimental results to the audience in person, with

"I really want to do it directly. Just put the plants on and see what happens," Martin Noble-James said, citing the BBC, Thursday, May 30.

Meanwhile, Martin's experiment involved installing electrodes on plants to capture electric pulses that could be converted into sound.

"I am interested in making music where I have no control, collaborating with something that is not aware of its artistic role and sharing it with the audience directly," said Martin.

Bio-personification itself is a process of translating electrical pulses produced by all living things into sound. This model involves installing electrodes into plants that take electric pulses that enter the synthesis.

Martin explained that changes in plants, such as picking leaves or watering them, can change the resulting sound, because the chemical process inside changes.

"The power plant only produces voltage and you can do everything with that voltage," he said.

Martin Noble-James is scheduled to travel around Norfolk this summer. He will bring bio-personification to spectators at the Felbrigg Hall and Blickling Estate.
