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 project project will build upon the installation method of this piece, incorporating motors & other sensory devices.
