How The F Do Mushrooms Play Modular Synthesizer: Galvanic Response Edition

[@TreetopCanopy]

Even shorter: "These wires send electricity through the mushroom. But because the mushroom is alive, the electricity gets slowed down in varied and unexpected ways, creating a rhythm that the modular synth converts into music."

[@H1V3_B0M8]

Shorter: Electricity with resistance are carried between wires to make sound.

You have exactly the face i was expecting for a man that play music with shrooms and thats epic

[@CallMeMrRook]

But my question is: do the mushrooms spill the beans and tell u where the bodies are buried?

[@MycoLyco]

😳

[@KrisThunderson]

Preliminary investigations did not produce the results we've hoped for, but they're off to Gitmo now and you can be rest assured that in one way or another... we'll get them!

[@Lorenzo-fw3gx]

As someone who started taking lessons at age 2,. (pianist) and have been immersed in music I find this mind-blowing. What I find even more interesting is the sounds produced from Rose quartz and the sellinite? They almost sounded as I would expect them to, being a dense mass of rock. However these sounds have an irregular but steady rhythm....... I commend you on taking up this idea to do this.. sub'ed.

[@Dameentsia]

You did a great job explaining on this one.

I think I’ll do a few videos covering some basics

[@fixpc103]

I'm fixpc103, I've never left a comment without saying that by the way, and I think it would be a cool experiment to see if the music sounds different when played through a speaker VS through headphones. I could imagine if plants grow different depending on music, maybe the shrooms hearing the music while they make it changes how the music sounds.

Most of my questions have been answered, thanks

[@PsychicRuin]

Yoooo this was awesome! I use a similar device called PlantWave fka MidiSprout to pick up the the EDA of plants and other living things, which is converted to midi, and then fed into my synths.

[@MycoLyco]

Yep the Instruo Scion is based off the midi sprout

[@thedude7726]

You look like a fun guy to hang out with

[@madsynthesist6074]

You mean to tell me that it uses Galvinism and an oscillation current to make soundwaves? Too cool. Do the magical clamp things work with a standard patch cable, or do I need to buy the whole unit? Either way, I'm totally going to try this with my morels.

[@C28_Music]

Can this module be purchased anywhere?

[@marietirard7277]

Hello, I am an art student at the Design Academy of Eindhoven and I would like to do the same kind of things with plant. What is the material you are using? Can you tell me more about the technicality of the installation? Thank you very much 😊

[@Noswiatel]

Could you feedback loop these signals through a mushroom using adequate voltages and an additional power source? Can we talk privately?

[@andrewbarnett2761]

Do they all make different sounds

[@yourtrippingjams9907]

Omg I'm getting ideas you a genius

[@matthewkeir3443]

Hi do you just plug the 2 cables connected to the mushroom into the cv of the eurorack or do you have to enhance the signal before somehow?

[@OIOI-zl4lw]

I’m even more confused now but mushies can jam so it don’t matter

[@MycoLyco]

I was worried that might happen

[@dsdy1205]

Could you perhaps show us a control experiment connecting the setup to something like a piece of paper so we can compare the mushroom music to paper music?

[@MycoLyco]

Paper would be silent as it doesn’t have a galvanic response. Wouldn’t make a very exciting video. But wet paper would work but you would be hearing water transport through a capillary network not paper

[@josephzillo3751]

So your patch is a mushroom? What does a hand sound like?

[@MrMysticmatt]

Ok but how much does it cost to do the same ?

[@bmoreal-81]

What eurack model is that

[@spartamuzic]

Why you only do it to this Mushrooms types only?

[@MycoLyco]

I’ve used 4 different types of mushrooms in my videos

[@krisclark6829]

Because (Zion?) uses a galvanic response from fungi to play music, could you also use a polygraph test to make funky sounds too?

[@MycoLyco]

If you could take the voltage or current controlling the needle and convert it into voltage compatible with eurorack levels absolutely

[@krisclark6829]

@@MycoLyco @MycoLyco I wonder what it would sound like! Do you know how the pitch and tone of the synth would correspond with the needle movement? (Or because this isn't a polygraph, the galvanic response from this mushroom?) Would it be how I think it is; the higher the spike the higher the pitch, the slower the change the longer a 'note' is held, or is it more intricate?

[@MycoLyco]

It would really depend how you patch it up that’s the magic of modular synths. But yea if you patched the needle voltage into the pitch control of an oscillator when the needle went up the pitch would go up. Gate extraction from the signal is a different story. You’d probably want to run a integrator and comparator so settings on this would effect how exactly the notes were rhythmically

[@krisclark6829]

@@MycoLyco Thank you for the second response! Would you be able to point me to any resources you utilized to research this topic?

Our good bacteria in our bodies is electrical too. They communicate via electrical signals to help digest our food. This is why it is good to not be on our phones or a computer when eating because it may interfere with digestion.

[@guillermozepeda9967]

Dude, you just answered an old question of mine about how the "Gods" were able to throw and manipulate lightning and electricity from the ancient literature. It had never occurred to me before. Many thanks!

[@Dicen_Delirio]

Do you think they kynda knew that living things had electricity in them somehow, but just didn't had the knowledge of what electricity was, therefore no way of explaining it, and then it transformed into literature? And that's why gods manipulate lighting in Greek mithology? Bc that sounds like such a cool hypothesis 😳

[@guillermozepeda9967]

@@Dicen_Delirio I'm not sure - I think they saw lightning; heck, if I saw someone survive a lightning strike (which probably happened too), I would be pretty impressed, and might have to "square that circle" with an exciting story about a how a dude (or dudette) could survive such an incident.

[@magcooper255]

I'd love to hear the sounds slowed down. They are on another and blinking frequency:) what does it sound like when you alter the speed of the sound resonated?

[@supernovasimulations]

Maybe like a giant mushroom.. Interesting this about the blinking fq Digital time stretching unfortunately usually induces somewhat its own blinking fqs/ changes due to adaptation mismatch, but probably that mainly happens with cheap options like the youtube slowmo thing or when pushing daws or hardware to a limit, just doubling the lenght in a daw like logic should give a taste of what it could sound like

[@plob001]

I am kinda dumb so I think it would be cool if you would show what to buy and how to hook it up, maybe a cheap setup cause yours looks expensive.

Can you do this with different modular synthesizers like kastle 1.5 and can you explain how to connect or set up so that you can connect mushrooms to a synth with the lil clip things u have

[@MycoLyco]

I don’t know much about the kastle 1.5. I am using the Instruo Scion which requires eurorack power and uses the eurorack voltage standards. A device called Plantwave exists which allows for you to connect to anything with midi

you could build a eurorack with an instruo scion kind of pricey though. there is also the plant wave who is a sponsor of mine that makes a much smaller device that connects to your phone instead of a giant synth
