I dream of instruments obedient to my thought and which with their contribution of a whole new world of unsuspected sounds, will lend themselves to the exigencies of my inner rhythm - Edgar Varese, “Liberation of Sound”

Inner Rhythms is an audio-visual composition by David Ifland which brings to life this quote from Edgar Varese. Varese’s thoughts on music, technology, and composition were a major inspiration for the development of the instrument being showcased: B.WavZ. This musical system allows an artist/composer to control audio-visual softwares with their individual thoughts and emotions through the process of Electroencephalography (EEG). This composition includes spoken word and audio-visual media that will be manipulated in real time by the brainwave activity of the artist and developer. Ifland is a sound artist based in Denver, CO and developed B.WavZ as part of his studies at the University of Colorado, Denver.
