The Music Of Cosmic Knot Is Propelled By The Sounds Of Nature.
This synergistic relationship with nature and music led Tom Wall to discover a way of playing improvisational music with the accompaniment of plants through the aid of an electronic device...
In other words plants can play music!
The new music genre of plants sitting in with the band has been called
"FLORGANOLEPTIC MUSIC"
Flor-ga-no-lep-tic
/ˌflôrɡənōˈleptik/
Definiton:
A genre of music describing the art of plants playing music with people, with the aid of an electronic device...
-Urban Dictionary
The concept has won awards and has been discussed internationally for
Garden Culture Magazine, Australian podcast - Plants Grow Here,

You Can Find The Garden Culture Magazine Article that started it all:
Working with alternate tunings like A=432hz and being endorsed by Cusack Music, Mayson Acoustic Guitars and Mojo Hand FX, frontman Tom Wall has been pushing the boundaries of modern music through his connection with nature, music and improvisation. This connection has won awards been featured at festivals, aired on television shows and taught about at Universities.
Once Wall learned to compose music with plants he quickly incorporated his findings into his band Cosmic Knot.
Playing music with plants is achieved with a special midi device that allows plants to make music by connecting electrodes to the roots and leaves and measuring the electromagnetic variations between the two.
Through recording a plants electromagnetic impulses a wave is formed. Each peak of the wave is assigned a musical note which allows the plant to create music in real time with the band.
The inclusion of Mother Nature and A=432hz in music is something that is featured throughout Cosmic Knot's first album Inner Space and will be a staple on the upcoming albums as well.
Tom Wall and Cosmic Knot are very grateful to have won these awards that helped them become the band they are today:
ArtPrize Monetary Awards - ArtPrize Top 25 - Best Song Award
Fretboard Contest - Walk The Beat
