You could even use sensors to measure the electrical activity of a plant's leaves, and use that to control a modular synthesizer tuned to the Over the Hedge scale: you could have the Over the Hedge scale be played by an ''actual hedge''.

== Scales ==
The following scales are designed for use in the Over the Hedge scale.
They were generated using the same base-26 letters process, but putting most letters after the decimal point to keep the numbers small.
Each of these scales should be detempered to 1241afdo on half the instruments/tracks, and 3019afdo on the other half, to create a slight rub between them and imply the larger Over the Hedge tuning
* H.ammy = 8.058486660131 cET (e.g. 8.06c, 16.12c, 24.18c, …)
* H.eather = 8.19494288307244 cET
* O.zzie = 15.0005230034 cET
* R.J = 18.3846154 cET
* S.tella = 19.7773363118885 cET
* T.iger = 20.356832743952 cET
* V.erne = 22.219742393474 cET
Note that the large number of decimal places were included because without them, the last couple letters of the name will be slightly wrong.
