Symbiotic {Laurel Oak} is here! My first album with Hearts of Space Records is now available everywhere, and I’m thrilled to finally share it with you.
Part of my ongoing Symbiotic series, this music was created in nature in collaboration with a living Laurel Oak tree. By translating the tree’s subtle electrical energy patterns into sound, I’ve created ambient compositions that unfold slowly and organically, mirroring the rhythms of the natural world.
This soundscape is ideal for meditation, yoga, creative work, or simply taking time to pause and listen. My hope is that it invites a sense of curiosity, presence, and wonder, the same qualities that inspired me to create it.
For Annabel

Experience the music of plants! The final stop on this year’s Secret Garden Tour is something truly extraordinary: a living, breathing garden soundscape at PAAM. Visitors are invited to slow down and listen—really listen—as the hidden music of nature is revealed in a live sound installation by acclaimed artist Aric Attas.
The installation, Summer Song – Tree Music in the Garden, turns the natural space of PAAM’s Sculpture Garden into an immersive experience. It’s a celebration of wonder, perception, and our deep-rooted connection to the living world.
Using custom-designed electronic instruments and sensors, Attas draws on the bioelectric energy patterns within the American Elm and Bradford Pear trees that shade PAAM’s Sculpture Garden. Signals produced by the plants’ own living processes are transformed in real time into harmonic tones, chimes, and ambient layers. The result: an evolving sonic tapestry where trees sing in harmony with birdsong, water, wind, and ambient human-made sounds
Visitors are welcome to come and go throughout the day, to sit beneath the canopy, absorb the sounds, and reflect. It’s a meditative finale to the tour—and a bridge to the exhibitions inside PAAM. The installation can be experienced on Sunday, July 13 from 10am to 5pm and Monday, July 14th from 11am to 5pm.
Artist Talks with Aric Attas Sunday, July 13th, 2025 12pm, 2pm, and 4pm Monday, July 14th, 2025 1pm and 3pm
In the Sculpture Garden itself, Attas will discuss the creative process and the natural phenomena that make Summer Song possible. His practice blends cutting-edge technology with poetic intuition to explore unseen and unheard dimensions of the world around us. Attas’ sound installations incorporate generative ambient music, using data input from the natural world, including living plants and collected field recordings from Cape Cod, sub-tropical Central Florida, and beyond.
