In this unusual songwriting workshop we create music with plants! What does a plant sound like? By experimenting with electronic musical instruments, we create music together with inspiration from Moki Cherry’s art. Feel free to bring a plant from home!

This is how we do it

We start in the exhibition “Moki Cherry – A Journey Eternal” and draw inspiration from there. What kind of thoughts does the art evoke? We write down some words and sentences.

Then we gather in the sound studio in the museum’s creative workshop, Verkstan. Here we explore together — nothing is right or wrong. We play with sounds from plants, sample our voices and experiment with fun electronic equipment.
