Artwork
Aric Attas, Symbiotic {The Four Seasons}, 2026

Experience the music of plants!

The Four Seasons is a multi-space sound installation where data from the natural world becomes continuously evolving music, shaped by the changing seasons.

Expanding on Summer Song, presented in PAAM’s Sculpture Garden during the 2025 Secret Garden Tour, Attas subsequently installed Autumn Song, Winter Song, and Spring Song over the past year in the same exterior space. Bringing the four pieces together, this new installation unfolds as a four-part suite shaped by Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer.

Three interior galleries will feature generative sound works created from data collected across Autumn, Winter, and Spring. Each piece evolves over time, shaped by the subtle electrical energy patterns recorded from the American Elm during those seasons. Together, they form distinct yet connected listening environments, each reflecting a different phase in the annual cycle.

Summer will take place outdoors as a live installation in PAAM’s Sculpture Garden, where visitors can experience the sounds of the American Elm in real time. Again this year, the installation will coincide with PAAM’s 2026 Secret Garden Tour.

Across all four spaces, The Four Seasons creates a place for reflection, curiosity, and quiet discovery, where seasonal change becomes something you can hear.

PAAM and Aric Attas gratefully acknowledge the following donors for their generous support of this installation: (List in development; donations to support this exhibition can be made here.)

Explore Lunar-Inspired Sounds with ‘Midnight On Earth’

Posted on 4 March 2026 by
Album artwork for Midnight On Earth, ambient music made by mapping ages and diameters of the moon to music, ocean wave recordings, and generative ambient music.

A first glimpse of Midnight On Earth 🌙

I’m thrilled to share the first single from my upcoming album, releasing March 6, 2026, on Hearts of Space Records.

Midnight On Earth is not just music — it’s a listening experiment shaped by the moon and the sea. Lunar phases guide the form, while recorded ocean tides breathe through the sound, unfolding across a 64-minute journey.

The result is a soundscape that feels both cosmic and earthly — contemplative, immersive, and quietly alive.

If you love deep listening, ambient drift, or simply closing your eyes and letting sound carry you somewhere else — this one is for you. 🌖🌊

Emerging from the success of Summer Song, installed in PAAM’s Sculpture Garden during the 2025 Secret Garden Tour in July, this evolving suite will explore the sounds of Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring. Together, these works celebrate the changing beauty of Provincetown, creating a place for reflection and discovery throughout the year. Autumn Song was presented at PAAM in October.

Now, Winter Song – Tree Music in the Garden turns the natural space of PAAM’s Sculpture Garden into an immersive experience in the thin light of the coldest season. It’s a celebration of wonder, perception, and our deep-rooted connection to the constant change of the living world.

Listen to Symbiotic Laurel Oak: Ambient Music for Meditation

Posted on 21 November 2025 by
Album artwork for Symbiotic {Laurel Oak}, ambient music made with plants.

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

You can listen now on your favorite streaming platform, including YouTube and Bandcamp. The album is available in two forms:
🌿 a 12-track album
🌿 and a long-form edition with over an hour of uninterrupted ambience

Find it on your favorite streaming platform here https://lnk.to/laurel-oak

I’d love to hear what you notice or experience as you listen. 🌿

Symbiotic Music with Plants by Aric Attas

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.
