the 
undulating 
self 

The Undulating Self is a musical bio-feedback system between the human body, it's bio-data and four tuned aluminium pipes. The pulse triggers the aluminium pipes, creating a musical and embodied symbiosis as acoustic vibrations emited from the pipes are felt in the body, mirroring the pulses rhythms.





This piece was conceptualised through continued research into the effects of entrainment and collective musicing on mental wellbeing, seeking to explore more accessible means to which people may interact with music - engaging through rhythms accessible to all (the pulse), and felt (through acoustic vibration) as well as heard.



The piece is imagined as a construction constituting both individual and group uses - where in pairs or groups, with multiple devices, entrainment can be explored through the attempted synchronicity of multiple bio-data inputs.
