Apple Day is an annual celebration of apples and orchards that takes place in the UK to mark the [British Apple Harvest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-airways-nyc-subway) in the month of October. In acknowledgment of the tradition this year, Borough Market created a "symphony that mirrors the apple-ripening process."

To create the unique recording, composer Andrew Consoli transformed the [sounds of the natural orchard environment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earthfm-app) into a melody after measuring factors such as nitrogen levels in soul, temperature, sunlight, rainfall and more. To pay homage to the fact that a traditional harvest runs for about 145 days from beginning to end, the unique composition boasts 145 beats per minute.

The [apple-inspired soundtrack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-of-a-masterpiece) is available to listen to on Soundcloud, giving the public the chance to listen to the way that apples grow in a way like never before.
