  • linea naturalis: we are all bioelectrical beings: Helen Anahita Wilson 

    • “This work was created by taking unique, natural bioelectricity readings from petals, leaves, trunks and branches of plants in the oncology section of the Chelsea Physic Garden, London. These plant signals were then converted into musical data. Linea naturalis can be listened to by anyone, anywhere, but is dedicated to people undergoing treatment for cancer. Many chemotherapy and other anti-cancer treatments are derived from plants: exactly the same plants recorded in this piece of music. Linea naturalis offers a means for people to connect back to nature whilst receiving treatment in the sterile, unnatural environment of a hospital or cancer centre. This music aims to demystify cancer treatment through highlighting the natural derivation of many drugs. In doing so, I hope to make the experience of treatment a little less daunting by offering this calming and reassuring music to listen to. Linea naturalis is 45 minutes long: this is the average time it takes for the contents of a chemotherapy drip bag to enter the body so ideal to listen to when receiving treatment in hospital.”
