Modular Dream<\/strong>
A performance project by Anee Molly and Bart Bell<\/p>\n

Modular Dream<\/em> is a transdisciplinary performance project developed within the CNM x IRCAM Inside<\/span><\/span><\/strong> residency program, in close collaboration with the research teams of the IRCAM<\/span><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The project brings together the practices of Anee Molly and Bart Bell, exploring the relationships between brain activity, sleep states and generative musical composition through a collaborative and transdisciplinary approach.<\/p>\n

During the performance, a participant lies down wearing an EEG headset that captures brain activity in real time. Signals associated with different states of consciousness are analyzed and translated into parameters that drive a generative musical system connected to a modular synthesizer.<\/p>\n

As the participant gradually approaches a sleep state, fluctuations in neural activity shape evolving sonic textures and immersive sound environments. The resulting soundscape becomes a sensitive and dynamic reflection of the invisible processes of the dreaming brain.<\/p>\n
