Analogue Oneironism (EEG + Dream Machine) : 2009 – 2010
Invited by 10111.org* collective from Switzerland in 2009 to submit a sonic response to their stroboscopic pattern inducing templates for recreating the hypnotically flickering of a classic ‘Dream Machine’. This is to be released on CD with other artists sound contributions, and my interpretation of the EEG changes whilst experiencing it.
I invited Brian Barritt (psychedelic writer and friend of Timothy Leary)
to my cottage to record his brainwaves whilst he experienced
28 minutes of the 8hz flickr tube on my turntable.
Brian Barritt using IBVA and Dream Machine 2009
His brainwaves were recorded using the IBVA bluetooth monitor and were then used to trigger abstracted generic sounds from a multi-layered file I created blind in response to the concept of the dream machine.

Guerilla Scientists invited me to bring the IBVA and the
Dream Machine
to demonstrate at a science / art happening called ‘Fish Tank’ in The Queen of Hoxton in May 2010 where an interesting response alluded from the audience regarding a telepathic sense of communication, following one participant’s thoughts.

after me (sic) to think about a bad experience he had -
I immediately thought about being nearly mugged once.
Then when you asked him to reveal what his bad experience was he said being mugged!” – Dee, Robots in Disguise
