Tom Wall

  • Tom Wall plays a tune with a 12-foot-tall sequoia tree sapling at Archangel Ancient Tree Archive in Copemish, Michigan. He’s using a plant music machine to turn the tree’s electrical impulses into musical notes. (credit: Michael Livingston / Points North)
    The Plant Musician
    Tom Wall is a West Michigan rock star who uses plants as bandmates. He uses a device to harness the electricity in plants, which then turns those impulses into musical notes. Tom insists the plants are talking to us through the music. But can they really do that?
