We are are group of musicians, composers, psychologists, acoustic engineers and video artists with a shared fascination for infrasound. Our aim is to produce an engaging concert and a musical experiment where no-one can predict the outcome.

We hope our event will engage scientists with contemporary music - and musicians with the process of contemporary science.
