Zap Bain
Brainwaves
Zap Bain performed an interpretation of Alvin Lucier’s Music for Solo Performer (1956) in which an EEG allows the electrical frequencies of the brain to be transformed into sound for the audience to experience in real-time. Zap’s generative brainwave composition/live performance Stream of Consciousness (2023) was then adapted to 4DSOUND and demonstrated on the 71 speaker 4DSOUND system set up by Monom studios in the historic Funkhaus recording studio Saal 2.
In the practice of spatially listening to the density going from a drop on my head to particles filling the large studio, I was able reach another level of control of Alpha and Theta brainwave frequencies through exercising the concha and vestibular system muslces when orienting sound spatially.
