RECOMMENDED for the ones looking for improvisational music and authentic stories

Free audiovisual improvisation between art and science. Voice, sound, as an acoustic reflection of feelings. Breathing thought based on a true story.

Improvisation with live instruments, real MRI sounds of the brain examination machine with images of emotionally close places, testimonies, thoughts of neuroscientists, evolving into a real brain examination, stimulated by sound.

The testimony is based on the stories of people with incurable brain diseases. However, hopefully today's scientific situation changes the diagnosis "incurable" to curable, if the patient finds the strength and courage not to give up, to go forward.

The research was done by talking to people in hospitals, self-help groups, doctors, and reading books based on the latest scientific research.

What makes the body run away from reality?

What do I choose?

The connection between emotions, feelings, and the body…

Don't read... Don't watch... Live.
