Botanical Beats: Pocket Scion Turns Nature Into Sound
When Glasgow's Instruo collaborates with sound artist Modern Biology, the result defies convention—a $149 handheld synth that reads nature's bioelectric whispers. Pocket Scion transforms viral mushroom-modular experiments into something tangible and profound.
Living Instrument
This isn't your typical synth—it's a dialogue with organic matter. Pocket Scion translates bioelectric signals from plants or skin into expressive soundscapes through four internal engines. What started as Instagram-worthy fungal jams now fits in your palm, no amplifiers required.
Biological Frequencies
Tiny voltage shifts become music, channeling biomimicry over retro nostalgia. The device bridges organic and digital realms seamlessly, integrating via MIDI or OSC into broader audiovisual ecosystems. It captures life's raw pulses and transforms them into reactive, breathing compositions.
Nature Rewired
Part of a growing creative shift where design meets ecology, Pocket Scion resonates with artists craving sensorial depth in electronic music. It invites composition with living systems rather than static tools, resetting the power dynamic between technology and nature.
In an overstimulated digital era, it offers something increasingly rare—an intimate, living connection to sound.
