Trees Speak is a musical duo consisting of Daniel Martin Diaz and Damian Diaz. Their unique sound combines elements of various genres, creating a captivating and immersive experience for listeners.
During a lecture at the 'Institute for The Future' think tank in San Francisco, Daniel was introduced to the concept of using trees and plants as storage devices for information. This idea left a lasting impression on him, inspiring the name and concept behind Trees Speak's music.
With their innovative approach to music-making, Trees Speak continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. Their thought-provoking compositions resonate with audiences worldwide, making them an exciting addition to the music scene.

When the band Trees Speak, coming out of nowhere, released an exclusive one-off 100-pressing white label 45, described as Can / Neu! meets Liquid Liquid, it sold out so quickly (in less than 30 minutes) that Soul Jazz Records decided to release their album almost immediately. Soul Jazz Records rarely release new music but found the music of Trees Speak’s album Ohms so stunning and to have so many elements of music that they admired that they felt compelled to release it.

The group Trees Speak are from Tucson, Arizona and create new music that sounds like German Krautrock meets no wave/post-punk and psych rock - music for fans of Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Can, Neu!, Silver Apples and early Kraftwerk. The album Ohms sounds at times like a tripped out and moody John Carpenter / Goblin / Morricone soundtrack that seamlessly segues into propulsive, ‘motorik’ Krautrock instrumentals loaded with fuzzy, hypnotic mellotron, synths and analogue effects, as well as elements of Art Ensemble free jazz, and all at times reaching a kind of post-rave psychedelia. More recent comparisons would include Beak&gt; and Ghost Box who draw upon similar themes and styles.

Trees Speak relates to the idea of future technologies storing information and data in trees and plants - using them as hard drives - and the idea that Trees communicate collectively.
