Have you ever truly listened to the natural world? Join us for a mindful walk into the forest, where we’ll slow down, tune in, and experience the hidden soundscape of the natural world. Using custom-designed electronics, we’ll listen to the live electrical energy patterns within local plants transformed into rich, expressive musical sounds that reveal the forest in an entirely new way. During this event you will experience these living sounds blend seamlessly with a gentle guided meditation, to create an immersive, multi-sensory journey. Rooted in curiosity, this event invites you to a deeper connection with nature, one that awakens your sense of wonder and awe for the natural world around us as a living, breathing soundscape.
Aric Attas is an internationally recognized experimental sound artist. He is currently working on a series of data-driven sound installations incorporating generative ambient music, data input from the natural world, including plants, and collected field recordings. Each of his compositions tells a multi-dimensional story about a slice of our cosmos through data and sound. Blending science and art he invites us to reconnect with the beauty and mystery of the natural world with a sense of curiosity, wonder, and awe.
Participants, please wear comfortable shoes and clothes for a short walk, and bring a chair if you’d like to sit during the listening sessions.

This project is part of a new series in 2025 called From the Earth. Workshops will guide participants through exploring, recognizing, learning, and using the natural resources in abundance on Cape Cod. We'll focus on foraging, ink and paper making, and quiet observation of the fragile ecosystems that surround us. All workshops are artist-led with an emphasis on the human responsibility to protect and sustain our natural resources.
