The Plant Choir™ system comprises a software program and hardware that measures the electrodermal activity of a person, plant, or animal and translates those readings into music on a computing device. The EDA readings of the individual subjects are translated via the software into musical notes in real time. The creation of the notes is synchronized to a master tempo in order to allow the subjects to play together in a unified fashion similar to a choir. A riff mode allows the subjects to produce multiple notes per beat. The music is rendered using a software synthesis algorithm that employs the pre-recorded sounds of real instruments. The software can also utilize MIDI devices if the operating system has that capability. The software allows the user to load and save their settings so they can create and experiment with their own choir configurations and musical scales.
