after asking some questions on the forum,

i finally completed my performance involving EEG detection, butoh dance and multiple visuals.

It was presented at the Institute of Sonology, the Royal Conservatory, Den Haag, last 2nd February.

It will be presented in Italy next summer and other locations.

The sound is all live-generated in Supercollider based on the EEG signal,

You can find two video excerpts here, a summary:

I thank the list for the always useful and quick help

Hi all,
after asking some questions on the forum,
i finally completed my performance involving EEG detection, butoh dance and multiple visuals.
It was presented at the Institute of Sonology, the Royal Conservatory, Den Haag, last 2nd February.
It will be presented in Italy next summer and other locations.

The sound is all live-generated in Supercollider based on the EEG signal,
and the visuals in Jitter.

i am also working on piece based on butoh dance, but in my case, i am going to use data from kinect :) it is getting quite popular nowdays.

anyway your work is exelent! could you tell me, witch eeg device have you use? was it expensive? Some day i was thinking about sharing art projects on the cycling74 forum because of the thin line between the conceptual value, and technical solutuions, that can be taken by anyone :) some day i have posted a patch, witch later was used without any changes by some japan artist, and i was sad :p

wow! this is great!

Hi Napentro, thanks a lot. I like sharing stuff but i think ethical minimum is at least to mention the guy who made it if you don't change anything.

Well for my performance i used EMOTIV EPOC, it was cheap (200-300 euros depending on shipping) i managed to access the raw data with help of a friend, and we have a simple way of sharing it. I try to avoid just plugging a synth to the raw data i instead tried to extract some meaningful information, i only managed to detect simple patterns so i decided to let the performer control the overall structure. I like to use Supecollider for these things as it is less CPU heavy and has precise sync, but i love Jitter for the visuals, Emmanuel Elias Flores did the visuals on the perfromer, he is a shader guru in my opinion, while i'm a Jitter "farmer" and i programmed the 3d space for visualization...

Good like with the kinect i think there's a lot of potential there...
