Music for Solo Performer

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Composed by Alvin Lucier and performed here by Pauline Oliveros, this groundbreaking avant-garde piece utilizes amplified human brainwaves to create its sound. Electrodes attached to the performer's scalp capture alpha waves, which are then used to sympathetically vibrate various percussion instruments. It results in a wholly unique, mesmerizing intersection of bio-feedback technology and acoustic resonance.
