The BRAIN OPERA is an interactive, musical journey into your mind, to be presented simultaneously in physical and cyber space!


Created by acclaimed composer Tod Machover and his team at the M.I.T. Media Laboratory, the BRAIN OPERA was a first-of-its-kind musical experience that included contributions from both on-line participants and live audiences.

Anyone who wanted to express ideas, experiences, and feelings in music and sounds was able help create the Brain Opera and participate in the live performances. People of all backgrounds were welcome -- we wanted musical inspiration and input from Mozart buffs, grunge rock fans, John Cage devotees, rappers, Verdi lovers, Deadheads...anyone who enjoys music.

The Brain Opera toured worldwide from 1996-1998 (Europe, Asia, United States, South America), and has since been updated and expanded, including the addition of an entirely new culminating experience, the Future Music Blender. This definitive version of the Brain Opera will be permanently installed in Vienna, Austria in July 2000, at the new House of Music.
