+== Plant based Sequencer ==
+=== Concept ===
+Often, plants and organisms are built from repeating patterns. But also processes tend to function in patterns such as the transport of nutrients or movements while growing.
+These patterns are used to generate rhythms, and combining these create organic growing / evolving (poly)rhythms. The rhythms are used as a musical sequencer, either trigger notes or percussive sounds like a drum machine.
+=== Technical Solution ===
+The measurements of these patterns could be done by and resistance, by amplifying electric/ magnetic fields or by tracking and analyzing video of the cells to the organism.
+The data gets processed in Max/MSP. Max is either used for direct sonification or operates as a link to other audio-software (utilizing Midi).
+=== Aesthetic outcome ===
+The outcome of this an installation where the viewer can observe the plants and organisms and listen to the sonification.
