Conductor and composer Brent Chancellor was featured on NPR’s nationally acclaimed program Morning Edition in a segment exploring the new album The Secret Symphony of Plants, an innovative musical project created from the bioelectrical signals of plants at Artpark in Lewiston, New York.
Hosted by A Martínez, the feature highlighted how Chancellor and fellow composers transformed electrical data gathered from living plants into original musical compositions. In the interview, Chancellor explained the process of converting plant-generated signals into MIDI information that could then be shaped into rhythm, pitch, and texture.
The nationally broadcast segment spotlighted the intersection of music, ecology, and technology while underscoring Chancellor’s ongoing commitment to innovative artistic collaboration and contemporary music-making.
