about

During the performance of this collaborative event, four mothers that have daughters sit still on the scene, facing the author. While they are listening to the improvisation and audio-samples that trigger certain emotions and thoughts, their brain signals are being measured by the computer system based on the OpenBCI tool. In real time, their state of consciousness, as a reaction to music and audio-stimuli that the artist creates and plays, is being estimated. During the performance, the author, with the different sound frequencies, instruments and improvised content, generates three kinds of brain waves in the mothers: alpha, beta, and theta. Alpha waves are dominant in the state of relaxation, beta appears in the state of concentration, and theta waves show up in daydreaming. The computer system registers the dominant brain wave which reflects the condition of mothers, and as a response, it plays the sound diagram that the artist composed in advance, and which represents the frame for the improvised composition. Acquired sound signals are being heard in the performative space, instigating an interactive communication between mothers and the artist, which reacts with the improvisation. The unpredictable sonic content from the brain waves is being manipulated once again by the musical improvised content. Perpetual modification and mutual communication through the sound effects, that activates new possibilities in the sonic game among the participants, becomes a self-making musical piece. The process of immediate composing is woven out of the human and non-human elements, placing the human body in the role of a mediator, which through the software analysis and a spontaneous mixing with other bodies, creates a new hybrid artistic expression.
