The EEGsynth at La generale in Paris

In spring 2019 Vision Forum organised a 4-day festival in Stockholm called Transformation. It investigated how naturally occurring nerve signals from muscle and brain can be used in musical composition and performance production. During the festival composers, musicians, technology developers and researchers met to investigate the aesthetic potential of biofeedback in music. The events and meetings led to a rich surge of reflections, development of new ideas, new research topics, new technological development, new collaborations and new artistic projects.The event was greatly appreciated by audience, participants and the media. During lockdown in spring 2020, Vision Forum organised the online festival Transformation II in collaboration with French online radio P-node. A third festival took place in France in spring 2024. It brought together artists from multiple fields, researchers primarily from neuroscience and technology developers from many field. Participants come from Sweden, France, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK and Japan.

Thanks to the success of the festival, for the week September 15 – 22, Swedish and French musicians will be working together with the EEGsynth technology at La Generale in Paris. Focus will be on harmonizing work with the Unicorn headset and to develop new performances. A public presentation with new performances will be heald at Chair de poule, rue St. Maur, 75011 on September 27, starting at 8pm.
