“Brainswarm”: Biomusic from the Greek composer Leontios Hadjileontiadis

Biomusic Concert in Greece.

“Brainswarm” of Professor Leontios Hadjileontiadis was presented for the first time in Goethe Institute, Athens, Greece.

“Brainswarm” is a musical piece of biomusic that combines,
in real time, information from the music director (both from his brain signals as well as from his movement) with the music from the instruments.

This is the point where music meets biomedical sciences.

For more info about the program of the concert (article in German and Greek), check here.
