Natasha Barrett’s Talking Trees: A Nature-Responsive Grove is an outdoor sound installation shaped by the movement of the wind. In real time, it weaves together sounds from a Norwegian coastal forest and shoreline: creaking trees, swaying leaves and branches, woodpeckers, bees, insects and other birds, rain falling from wet leaves, distant motorboats and resonant sounds washing along the shore. These materials are enhanced to reveal qualities that often pass unnoticed, and are then blended with the existing soundscape and the sounds of visitors, who can choose to become part of the system by interacting with a microphone. The work plays continuously, with real-time variations controlled by the wind.
Materials: Four loudspeakers, motion sensors, microphone, Raspberry Pi, Max/MSP with RNBO, tree bench and forest grove.
The work was originally commissioned by the 13th MOMENTUM Biennale, Gallery F15 (Moss).
Curated by Buskerud Kunstsenter for Kunstbiennale Dikemark 2026.
