Mr. Conceicao, I just want to thank you for putting this on UA-cam. I wanted to buy "Sferics; Music For Solo Performer" by Lucier on CD, but I hadn't been able to find this song on Spotify to hear it. But it was on here. I like it a whole lot, and just bought the CD from CD Universe because of this clip. THANK YOU!
I was scrolling down to do the same. Alvin is such a beautiful man. A very deep listener. Thank you, I had no idea this video existed. I've only read about this. Happy day, Carlos. Thank you. Peace be with you!
Could it actually amplify anything meaningfully in 1965? Seems this would work better today when we have comparatively better wave detectors that people can put on. Like for example that toy that came out some years ago where you could put a thing on your head and then focus your thought for the toy to do something.
I know this is an old comment but Lucier's purpose was not to try and control the instruments. He designed it to read his brainwaves and translate this into percussive pulses. He was more interested in what would happen by chance than trying to control it.
This is of such amazing historical importance! I'm so glad the video exists, and grateful that it's available.
Rest in peace, Alvin Lucier.
The piece is from 1965, video from 1976, filmed in the World Music Hall at Wesleyan University.
Its 5:56am and I am watching this. Pretty cool stuff, but i should go to bed now.
Alvin Lucier, you are an inspiration!
non ho parole...............
Totally awesome! Love this - taking music to the next dimension! Lightyears ahead of its time.
Sorcery. My favorite piece of experimental music ever. Thank you.

Então, basicamente ele captou as ondas do próprio cérebro, as amplificou e as colocou para percutir os tímpanos, pratos e demais tambores?
He's nearly 89 as of 2020.
Hope COVID doesn't affect him like it did Lee Konitz...
this is so cool

@@bradleyfletcher6525 Indeed. Alvin had a more stochastic approach to his ideas than most of his contemporaries. Iannis Xenakis was the same way.
Yeah BCI is our future

The first Brain-Machine Interface in history. Mankind went from this to Neuralink in just a few short decades. Wow!
