Sonic Meditation for Solo Performer (for Pauline Oliveros and Alvin Lucier)
A constellation of salvaged marching band instruments that plays a musical composition made from the brainwaves of a single viewer.
The viewer wears an EEG brain monitor and reads a series of silent meditations. The viewer’s brain activity is then translated, via custom Max/MSP patch, into a 16 part musical composition that is played through the instruments hanging above.
My proposed project will build on this work, adding kinetic elements and live video mapping which responds to the viewer's brain activity.
