about

Since 2008, Brad Garton & Dave Soldier have developed the use of inexpensive EEG (electroencephalograph)sensors that could measure the electrical output of the brain ("brainwaves") to develop a set of software tools that could generate music using brainwave data.

For this first complete recording of “The Brainwave Music Project”, four soloists were invited to take part in the sessions. Each plays a solo instrument, and the instruments themselves each come laden with a rich musical tradition. The hardanger fiddle (Dan Trueman), the solo flute (Margaret Lancaster), the mandolin (Terry Pender) and the trap drums (William Hooker) all represent long social and cultural histories. This awareness, as well as the awareness of what and how the musicians are playing, is certainly a part of the brainwave data used to build the synthetic accompaniment for each piece.
