Organology
What role does the body play in our encounters with music? Bringing together artists, designers, engineers, and scientists at MIT and beyond, Organology taps into the physiological and personal dimensions of fundamental questions about music and the body. In a semi-improvised musical performance, ensemble members debut the BioSynth, a novel synthesizer whose parameters are modulated by the real-time biometrics of the performers. Over the course of the performance, ensemble members come to represent a dynamic artistic body, one that emerges from mindful musical collaboration and latent physiological resonance. The performance will be followed by a light reception and talkback with the artists.
This project is funded in part by the Council for the Arts at MIT (CAMIT).
