BIORHYTHM LIVE: EMOTION

How can your skin betray how you really feel about a song? Why is a minor chord sad? How is music linked with memory?

BIORHYTHM LIVE, part of Science Gallery's acclaimed summer 2010 exhibition, brings a dramatic live performance and audience focus for BIORHYTHM'S exploration of music and the body. Our emotional responses are complex and ancestral, and its ubiquity means we often take it for granted, but how much do we understand about music's magical effect upon us? Science is unveiling its secrets as never before, and BIORHYTHM LIVE has convened exceptional artists to perform along with leading scientists to illuminate this most pleasurable of subjects, in a relaxed forum that includes audience participation via neural mapping of your brain activity while listening to Gavin Friday and more.

With Gavin Friday, BP Fallon, Kate Ellis, Ben Knapp (SARC) with Biomuse Trio, Caoimhin O'Raghallaigh and Mike McCready (Music Xray), hosted by Gerry Godley.

MORE ABOUT THE BIORHYTHM: LIVE SERIES

BIORHYTHM LIVE, part of Science Gallery's acclaimed summer 2010 exhibition, brings a dramatic live performance and audience focus for BIORHYTHM'S exploration of music and the body. Through the prism of science, BIORHYTHM LIVE will refract a view on music that will challenge, entertain, stimulate and provoke legions of music lovers and science geeks alike. Music is a vast subject, ancient and elemental, and yet the impetus of technology and science is both generating new forms of musical expression and mapping humanity's relationship with it as never before. Over three unique events in the Science Gallery, leading performers and scientists will share the same stage in a format that  embraces performance with physics, evolutionary psychology and neural mapping to light the cognitive pathways and liberate the closely guarded secrets of our auditory cortex.
