Plymouth Contemporary Music Festival 2014

We are very excited to announce the groundbreaking project with Eduardo Miranda, (for Plymouth Contemporary Music Festival, 9th Feb 2014). Our music, displayed electronically and fed to us in real time, will be being controlled and dependent on the brain waves of 4 other people. The 4 'brains' each have their brain-cap electrodes hooked up to a computer and to our 4 monitors. As they look at images on their own screens, the result of their brain waves (triggered by their eye movement) determines what each of us is fed to play. Eduardo is brilliant.
