Veg out, music, veg growth, veg memory. Pick one of my playlists (or roll the dice), press play, and a little rubber tree grows to every song: new leaves for the notes, roots in the goldfish tank, a bean vine twining up the stairs. Get it to six feet and something sparkly happens. When you’re done, you get a print of your tree with every song you played hidden in an old-style engraving.
…or paste any Spotify link
Press play in the Spotify player. Every song grows the stems, roots and leaves.
Play music out loud (the Spotify app, a speaker, a record player) and the plant grows to the notes your phone’s microphone hears. A few seconds of quiet between tracks starts a new song. Tip: if your phone gets quiet while the mic is on, play the music from a speaker or another device.
Play anything on Spotify (phone, desktop, speaker) and the tree follows along, song by song.
For music from anywhere: records, radio, the car. Type what’s playing, start it, and say when it ends.

How to play
- Spotify player here: pick a playlist from the drop-down or hit 🎲 Random, then press play in the player.
- 🎤 Mic mode (best on phones): tap Start listening, then play music out loud from the Spotify app or a speaker. The plant grows to the notes your microphone hears, and a short silence starts a new song.
- Type my songs: for records, radio, or the car. Type what’s playing and tap Start song.
- The flip radio on the shelf measures your tree in Roman numerals: feet′, inches and hundredths″. Zero shows as N, for nulla.
- Tap End session & make my print to get your picture. Save it, share it, or screenshot it and email it to yourself.
