My Sonic Art

The Muse 2 provides a reliable way to track brainwaves, heartbeat and breathing in real time. Of particular interest are Delta and Alpha waves: Delta waves are produced through attention and normally dominate our everyday experience; however, during meditation, delta waves are reduced while alpha waves (the same type produced during sleep) become dominant. In tracking these signals composers are able to develop works through the level of relaxation experienced by meditating participants.
