Attas is internationally recognized for his sound installations, which generate ambient music based on data input from the natural world. Each of his compositions tells a multidimensional story about a slice of our cosmos through data and sound.
“Symbiotic is a series of live generative music performances and recordings created in collaboration with plants,” he says. “I translate the electrical vibrations within plants into audible music that allows us to hear the otherwise silent symphony of nature and to experience our connection with it.”
The music that emerges from this collaboration, unlike traditional recorded music, is generative. It exists only in the present moment. It evolves infinitely through adaptive generative algorithms that respond in real-time to data received from live plants. There is no fast forward or rewind, only the present moment.

“What happens as a result,” Attas says, “is a deeper connection between ourselves and the natural world.”
