Koncerten SOUND OF MIND AND BODY er et samarbejde mellem Bill Coleman og Gordon Monahan som bruger menneske-til-computer hjernebølge-interface til at manipulere og producere musik, lyd og belysning i realtid, integreret med dans, kropsoptræden og slapstick. Alle de lyde, du vil høre i denne forestilling, er resultatet af enten direkte lydforstærkning af hjernebølger eller af instrumenter, der manipuleres af hjernebølge-styret software i realtid.

Gordon Monahans værker for klaver, højttalere, video, kinetisk skulptur og computerstyrede lydmiljøer spænder over forskellige genrer, lige fra avantgarde, koncertmusik til multimedie installationer og lydkunst. Som komponist og lydkunstner sammenstiller han de kvantitative og kvalitative aspekter af naturlige akustiske fænomener med elementer fra medieteknologi, naturlige miljøer, arkitektur, populærkultur og liveoptrædener.

Festum Fluxorum blev for første gang arrangeret i Nikolaj Kirke i 1962 i København. Henning Christiansen (1932-2008) var en dansk komponist, der boede på Møn fra 1970 til sin død i 2008. Som en del af den internationale kunstbevægelse FLUXUS, var han også en af arrangørerne af Festum Fluxorum.

Henning Christiansen Arkiv præsenterer denne koncert i samarbejde med 44Møen, som en del af Festum Fluxorum 2026 - med kunstnere som er stærkt inspireret af FLUXUS.

Vi fejrer Festum Fluxorum med denne anden koncert og performance, velkommen!

SOUND OF MIND AND BODY is a collaboration by Bill Coleman and Gordon Monahan that uses
concepts of human-to-computer brainwave interfacing to manipulate and produce real-time music,
sound and lighting, integrated with dance, body performance and slapstick.
All of the sounds you will hear in this performance are the result of either direct audio amplification
of brainwaves, or of instruments manipulated by brainwave-controlled software in real
time. Sometimes the brainwaves are heard directly as they are simply transposed into the audible
spectrum; at other times, MIDI note patterns generated by waveform fluctuations of
brainwave signals are mapped onto a player piano keyboard; or brainwave signals are amplified
into small electric motors that play rhythmic patterns, determined by brainwave fluctuations,
on a drum and cymbal as the performer transitions through various levels of mental concentration. At
certain times, Monahan harnesses Coleman’s brainwaves to control fluctuations of intensity in the
stage lights.

The artists will be available for a question-and-answer session following the performance.

Gordon Monahan's works for piano, loudspeakers, video, kinetic sculpture, and computer-controlled
sound environments span various genres from avant-garde concert music to multi-media installation
and sound art. As a composer and sound artist, he juxtaposes the quantitative and qualitative aspects
of natural acoustical phenomena with elements of media technology, natural environments,
architecture, popular culture, and live performance.
In addition to creating a significant number of sound installations and sound art performances,
Monahan also composes concert music for traditional instruments. The renowned composer John
Cage once said, "At the piano, Gordon Monahan produces sounds we haven't heard before."

FESTUM FLUXORUM was first held in 1962 at the Nikolaj Church in Copenhagen. Henning
Christiansen (1932-2008) was a Danish composer who lived on the island of Møn from 1970 until his
death in 2008. As part of the international art movement FLUXUS, he was also one of the organizers
of FESTUM FLUXORUM.
In 2026, Henning Christiansen Arkiv will create a new FESTUM FLUXORUM here on Møn with artists
who are strongly inspired by FLUXUS. We will open FESTUM FLUXORUM ‘26 with a concert on
Friday, April 24th at 8pm and welcome you to the exhibition opening on Saturday 25th April at 2 -5pm.
We will close with a concert on Saturday 25th April at 8pm. The exhibition in the Archive will run until the end of August.
