RACINES & RESONANCES

February 7, 2020 — Lóvasút Kulturális és Rendezvényközpont, Budapest - Hungary

Immersive live audiovisual performance where sensors capture plant bio-signals and transform them into sounds and visuals in real time. Workshops and performances combining biosonification, music, and ecology across Hungary, Réunion, and Mauritius.

The Experience

A 60-minute immersive concert where J3ZZ performs solo with violin, synthesizers, and electronic instruments.

What you’ll encounter: Plants connected to a biological data capture system are the central focus. Their bio-signals are translated in real time into sound textures and visual projections. The audience sits at the center of an immersive soundscape — configured in stereo, quadraphonic, or octophonic depending on the venue — while large-scale projections reveal the plants’ reactions. Solemn lighting, fog evoking tropical forests, and visible technology create an intimate atmosphere that merges the natural and human worlds.

Why it matters: This is not a concert in the traditional sense. It’s an encounter designed to awaken your perception of the living world around you. Spectators leave transformed — many seek out the artist afterward, compelled to share what they experienced and felt. It’s the kind of work that lingers.

Audience response: Feedback consistently highlighted the work’s uniqueness, originality, and poetic depth. Spectators expressed a desire to engage with the artist afterward, demonstrating that Racines & Résonances had sparked genuine reflection on our relationship with the living world.
