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.

Absolutely stunning second album from Trees Speak on Soul Jazz Records. The new album Shadow Forms is a blend of 1970s German electronic and ‘motorik’ Krautrock instrumentals (think Harmonia, Can, Cluster, Popul Vuh, Neu!), haunting and powerful 1960s &amp; 1970s soundtracks (think Italian prog-rock Goblin and John Carpenter horror movies, Morricone and existential John Barry spy movies), together with a New York no wave electronic synth and guitar analogue DIY-ness (think Suicide, anything on Soul Jazz’s New York Noise series or Eno’s New York No Wave)! Trees Speak segue together all these elements into Shadow Forms, which follows on from their critically-acclaimed debut LP Ohms, released on Soul Jazz Records less than six months ago.

Trees Speak are Daniel Martin Diaz and Damian Diaz from Tucson, Arizona and their music often draws on the cosmic night-time magic of Arizona’s natural desert landscapes. ‘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.
