Since our foundation in 2005
we have been focused on trees as the source of our work. We
have built an array of compositional and technological tools
to transform natural movements into art, exhibited in our
installations and concerts.
We establish Internet networks of trees in which they share
movements across the world, instantly affecting each other's
sounds to symbolize the global wind we all share.

Trees in the wind
"This is a beautiful
interconnection of electronics hardware and software
design, with art, music, nature (wind and trees),
and chaos."

"These strike me as employing technology in service
of an idea, rather than using ideas to justify the
deployment of technology."
