‘BRAIN WAVES’ - an extraordinary film project with brain waves and avant-garde dancer Aoi Yamada by Tobias HUTZLER c/o ROCKENFELLER & GOEBELS

Tobias HUTZLER c/o ROCKENFELLER & GÖBELS is fascinated and inspired by Masatane Muto – musician, artist, creator… and famous for his global role as ambassador in search of a cure for the ALS disease (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Touched by the innovative means of expression that he uses, Tobias conceived a film to depict Muto’s genius.

He collaborated with pioneering scientists to map Muto’s brain waves with an EEG while Muto was thinking about rhythms. These rhythms were then translated into audible music. The mutual project became even more fascinating when Tobias got avant-garde dancer Aoi Yamada on board. Tobias also created the lights that reflect the captivating music which was born in Muto’s head and translated with the help of an EEG.

Tobias on the project : “Brain Waves, a unique blend of science and art! For this project, I collaborated with one of the world’s leading neuroscientists. Using an EEG, we captured the patterns and frequencies of brain waves of artist and musician Masatane Muto. We measured the brain waves while he was composing and playing his music track. Then we transformed them into a visual and audio file, exploring the inner workings and landscapes of the mind. The brain waves were then transformed into music and light for this film. Its about the form and energy of waves: from brainwaves to sound waves and, ultimately, the rhythm and expression of waves in the dance. The ping sound in the background is the sound and rhythm of brain waves. Prepare to be mesmerized as the pulsating beats build a breathtaking choreography with cutting-edge visual effects, all while celebrating the transformative power of the mind.

Iconic artist & musician Masatane Muto, who has created a global movement for ALS, is tapping into the astonishing potential of brain wave communication, igniting a thrilling journey from the rhythms of EEG brain waves to sound waves and the dancer’s imagination, a language of movement and liberation.

The protagonist is fighting against ALS, he’s losing his muscle power and has been developing ways to create music. Through his eye movement and now through his brain waves. It was shot in Tokyo, featuring world renowned artist and dancer Aoi Yamada.”
