Join us for a special concert evening featu ring two prominent artists working within the medium of altered states of p erception.

\n

Kim Cascone will present his new 34-minute sensory medit ation 'Becoming Aiôn'. Utilizing Schumann resonances\, Spricom frequencies\ , binaural and monaural beat frequencies and spatial effects\, 'Becoming Ai ôn' is not a concert in the traditional sense\, but an experience intended to induce deep meditative states in the listener.

\n

'Becoming Aiôn' i s an acoustic mirror\, a reflecting pool bringing the audience's unconsciou s to the surface through the technique of entrainment\, allowing them to pr oject onto the sonic gauze. 'Becoming Aiôn' could be likened to a scrying m irror into which the viewers unconscious is projected then reflected back t o them. This work was inspired by my research in Jungian psychology\, Herme tic philosophy\, brain entrainment techniques\, altered states of conscious ness\, meditation and a variety of other areas.

\n

Pri or to 'Becoming Aiôn'\, TeZ will perform 'PV868'\, a performance aimed at p roducing an audiovisual feed/stimulus which allows a peculiar effect of mov ing visual patterns to emerge directly in the brain of the observer.

\n< p>The stimulus is generated in real-time by a combination of flickering vid eo\, in the form of abstract lights and color gradients\, coupled with sync hronized synthetic sounds (binaural beats) diffused in a surround quadropho nic system. These elements are performed and recombined in real-time.

'PV868' is inspired by the readings of John Geiger’s “Chapel of Extreme Experience” and W. G. Walter’s “The Living Brain”. The title\, 'PV868'\, is the patent number of the Dream Machine developed by Brion Gysin and Willia m S. Burroughs in the late 50's.
