About the Experience

DOORS OPEN:

Nature has always been speaking to us… now, you can finally hear it. Step into the hidden world beneath our feet with Mushroom Music, Arcadia Earth’s newest room in collaboration with Canadian Artist, Modern Biology.

‍

In this room, you will embark on an interactive journey into the world of fungi, exploring a living, breathing experience where the soundtrack is created in real time… by you and our resident mushrooms!

‍

This new room is only available at Arcadia Earth for a limited time. Access to this room is included with all Arcadia Earth tickets — no additional cost required.

EXPAND YOUR
PERSPECTIVE

How It WOrks

Throughout the space, interactive Mushroom Music stations invite you to connect directly with living mycelium, transforming your presence into sound. By placing your hands on touchpads, the natural electrical signals within your body and within the mushrooms are translated into evolving notes and rhythms through the Pocket Scion synthesizer.

‍

Every interaction in this room generates a one-of-a-kind soundscape, meaning no two experiences are ever the same. In this new room, guests don’t just observe the unseen world that keeps our planet alive, they become a part of the pulse that sustains it, showing just how connected we are to the world beneath us.

Impact

We created this room, intentionally launching on Earth Day, as a powerful reminder of just how deeply connected we are to our planet, aiming to spark curiosity around how our everyday actions ripple through and impact the hidden world beneath us.

Our Partner

Originally educated as a biologist, veteran musician Tarun Nayar brings his passion for nature and sound together in an ambient project that is organismic, immediate, uplifting, and deeply contextual. He uses modular synthesis, home-built synthesizers and other analog equipment to improvise with the natural vibrations of a certain place and time - via plant bioelectricity, latent electromagnetic radiation, and even the earth’s resonant hum.
