Sound of Nature: Musical Instruments You Play by Touching the Wilderness
Published Jun 4, 2026
CG artist Anton Bessonov and creative director Denis Baranov have created Sound of Nature, a collaborative experimental project that imagines modular musical instruments built from natural materials.
The concept turns stones, wildflowers, branches, mushrooms, berries, moss and water into playable sound machines. Each module is designed around a different form of interaction: mushroom caps become percussion surfaces, a moss-covered panel works like a drum machine, water behaves like a theremin, flowers trigger sampled sounds, and stones, crystals and minerals replace the keys of a synthesizer.
The visual language is particularly sharp, pairing delicate organic matter with frosted acrylic housings, brushed metal controls, cables, LEDs and clean industrial detailing.
