REALM at Motion Festival (5:30pm)
Description
REALM is an immersive experience exploring the connection between music and the mind and body.
Created by Eric J Dubowsky, the ARIA and Grammy Award-winning producer behind mixes for Flume, FKA twigs and Tame Impala, REALM aims to engineer specific cognitive and physiological responses through sound, including vivid mental imagery, dopamine spikes and chills.
"REALM is about understanding what sound is really doing to the brain. We know music can make you feel things. But what if we could design that experience with intention and improved well-being outcomes for the listener?" - Eric J Dubowsky
Developed in collaboration with ambient artist Matt Curtin, creative director Tim Baggott, and cognitive neuroscientist Dr Steffen A. Herff at The University of Sydney, the project is backed by lab testing, with compositions tested on international participants through the Sydney Music, Mind & Body Lab at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
REALM is an evolving project that invites audience members to share their personal experience post-event to inform its ongoing development.
