sonic climates (2024)

Sonic Climates is an installation and live performance that explores the relationship between plants, sound, and human presence. Inspired by florariums created by Péter Teller, the project treats plants as active participants rather than passive objects. Electrical signals produced by the plants’ living tissues are measured and translated into sound synthesis parameters. As the plants change and respond to their environment, the soundscape slowly shifts, creating an organic, pulsing sonic atmosphere.Khrystyna Kirik and Elod Máté Janky interact with this evolving sound environment through live improvisation. Instead of controlling the sound, they listen, respond, and adapt to it, allowing the performance to unfold in real time. The work reflects on time, solitude, and proximity, inviting the audience to experience a form of shared presence between humans, plants, and sound.
