The Creation of Desert Song
Located in the heart of Coachella Valley, Palm Desert has long been a destination to reflect and reconnect, the perfect getaway to discover and enjoy as you please. From scenic places to smiling faces, Palm Desert’s unique rhythm has been represented a number of ways over the years, but has yet to be truly heard… until now. Inspired by this truth, the city set out to translate native plants into music by partnering with plant sonfication expert Joe Patitucci of PlantWave and indie musician/artist Windser. At the intersection of art and science, here is the true rhythm of the desert.
