Montreal-based studio Daily tous les jours has created Forest Mixer, an installation that turns human voice into something the earth can feel and respond to.
You step into a clearing among cedar and fir, speak or sing into sculptural “whispering dishes,” and your sound is transformed into low-frequency pulses that travel through the wooden platform and into the soil itself.

This piece comes out of the field of acoustic ecology, a field that listens to how forests sound and what those soundscapes reveal about life beneath the canopy.

Instead of dominating nature, Forest Mixer lets us become part of its chorus, making the act of speaking feel like an ecological gesture rather than just a human one.

More than a tech experiment, it’s a unique way of saying, we are here, we are part of this, and the forest responds.

It turns attention to what is usually unnoticed and treats nature not as backdrop but as something you can touch, hear, and feel.
