I stumbled upon this article

Plants and music

Regarding the emission of sounds, plants have demonstrated the ability to emit certain chords that form a sort of melody, rhythmic and constant. These are melodies formed by tetrachords, successions of four sounds, which can be perceived by an impulse converter connected to the plant that detects movement variations.

Someone might have already thought about writing pieces for them

Very fascinating... in fact there has always been a strong bond between music and plants. Wood has the "natural" and "extraordinary" ability to... resonate in a way that other inorganic materials are unable to reproduce, and until a couple of centuries ago it was the main (or exclusive) material for almost all musical instruments.

When I saw the "pulse converter," however, this masterpiece immediately came to mind (1:30 min onwards):

In the past, I had been struck by this other way, much simpler, of making music with plants, as an example of technology that returns to its origins (the famous stick beaten against the trunk):

Doesn't all this remind you of Frova?
