NEURAL NOISE 1 (2025)

A creation by Julie Semoroz

A commissioned musical composition by Yi-Ping Yang, inspired by neuronal dynamics

In association with CISA (chair of affective sciences at the University of Geneva)

NEURAL NOISE 1 is a musical work by Julie Semoroz exploring the link between neuroscience and music, in which percussion, light and voice symbolise neuronal interactions. Drawing on principles such as expectation, learning and inter-frequency coupling, this composition translates the complexity of the brain into sound and light. Through rhythmic and sonic textures inspired by neuronal oscillations, it invites each listener to question his or her own perception.
