Miya Masaoka + and SF Sound Ensemble
The Sound of Naked Men
Experimental musician and composer Miya Masaoka taps the internal sounds of the human body to create a 45 minute music/sound performance piece. Using sophisticated medical equiptment -- heart monitor and EEG brain analyzers - the sound of the heart beat, breathing, and the sound of blood through the veins and brain activity reveal a hidden "orchestra" within each individual. The original musical score is derived from the actual brain waves and performed by the SF Sound Ensemble.
