Interoception - Immersive concert with harp and violin
Immersive concert with live visuals and live data acquisition of the musicians' ECG and EEG
Short lecture (English) at the beginning
Perception is never something rigid. It is created, moment by moment, by the brain, the body and the space in between. Every heartbeat, every breath, every flare-up of the nervous system is communication with the world. We don't just see or hear reality - we feel it, breathe it and move in it.
"Interoception" gives this dialogue a voice: violin, harp, lungs, heart, brain. The musicians play while their own biosignals shape sound and visuals in real time - a loop in which physiology and music write each other as they are created.
Perception isn't fixed. It is created, moment by moment, by the brain, the body, and the space between them. Our bodies are instruments, tuned by evolution, pulsing with rhythm and sensation. Every heartbeat, every breath, every flicker of the nervous system is a line of communication with the world. We don't just see or hear reality; we feel it, breathe it, and move inside it. This composition gives voice to that dialogue: violin, harp, lungs, heart, brain. The musicians play, but their own biosignals shape the sound and the visuals in real time, a loop where physiology and music write each other as they unfold.
