Excerpt fromThe Secret Life of Plants
(1978, 96 min. DVD, color)
A documentary by Walon Green including a score by Stevie Wonder and the inclusion of a renouned performance at the Plant Conservatory in San Franciso. Over the course of four days in June 1976, while open to the public, six large plants in the center of the glass Plant Conservatory in Golden Gate Park (modeled on Kew Gardens, in London), produced an audible, live musical score based on simple bio-electric sensing of their responses to light, temperature, movement and other physio-environmental factors (gold needle electrodes at the base of the stem/root). This was John Lifton's new variation of his "Green Music" composition. Amid the 'tropical'garden stood a five foot high rack of audio and digital processing systems, including the just purchased, Altair 8800, which John was constantly (re)programming (Machine Language). The film crew did their set-ups and shot sequences as needed over the few days.
