VA - Music for Brainwaves (2019)

Erased Tapes is proud to present Music for Brainwaves — an innovative collaboration with citizenM featuring exclusive music by Michael Price, Högni and Ben Lukas Boysen.
As the first instalment of citizenM's Guide to Business Travel, the international hotelier teamed up with Erased Tapes to create a unique sonic experience for travellers that will maximise concentration, minimise anxiety and help with sleep.

Music for Brainwaves is a project of art and science in equal parts, a collection of three specially written musical pieces as the result of in-depth detailed research conducted by a team of neuroscientists based at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Using existing theory, extensive research and data, the team has identified key frequencies and oscillations that guide the brain into certain receptive states. It is the first time that research of this kind has been created for public usage, with extensive scientific testing and proven results.
Based on this knowledge, Erased Tapes commissioned three of their composers — Michael Price, Högni and Ben Lukas Boysen — to work closely with the scientists in producing three scientifically informed pieces of music. Consequently titled Focus in 12-18Hz, Ascend in 8-13.9Hz and Dream in 0.1-3.9Hz, each track utilises relevant tones, frequencies and rhythms to affect the brain in a beneficial way.
