The Irish Tech News Podcast The importance of plants and biodiversity for musician Michael Prime
Sep 6, 2020

Fascinating interview with Michael Prime, bioelectrical composer, filmmaker, botanist, ecologist.
We take a walk around his unique gardens on Cape Clear Island. Here he has collected and nurtured plants from all over the world, often now endangered in their natural habitats. Michael is of course also well known for his long and successful musical career and we aim to analyse the cross fertilisation between these two deep passions of his.
Since 1987, he has used of bioactivity translators to amplify the electrical activity of plants and fungi. This has been central to much of his work. Through the medium of sound, listeners are able to enter and interact with the transient world of plant reactions.
