🍄 Shroom service

October 5, 2026

Your annoying musician friend has been replaced by something quieter, cheaper and technically edible.

Bionic and the Wires wired up a wild mushroom in the English woods with sensors that detect its bioelectrical fluctuations. Those signals were converted into instructions for robotic arms, which physically press keys on a keyboard connected to a synthesizer.

The fungus was extra “funky,” possibly thanks to sun, wind and recent rain. Finally, proof you don’t need talent to start an electronic side project. Or even a nervous system.

Check it out here. First album title: Spore Signals.
