Calling all experimental musicians, musical neuroscientists, sound artists, cyborg performers, dance-floor divas and harmonic engineers...
Science Gallery is currently developing a major new exhibition called BIORHYTHM: MUSIC AND THE BODY and we are seeking your proposals for gallery installations, experiments, events, workshops and performances for inclusion.
Our goal is to explore how art and science help us interpret, understand and enjoy the sounds of the 21st century. We are looking for participative experiences and experiments for the public as well as stand-alone performances.
Running for three months (2 July - 1 October, 2010), BIORHYTHM will also include special live performances, innovative installations, unique physical and mental experiences, high-profile talks, discussions and debates, and other musical and biological events web-focused interactions, games and truly collaborative experience.
To find out more about BIORHYTHM or to submit a proposal please go to http://www.sciencegallery.com/biorhythm . Submissions must be received no later than Tuesday March 30 2010 to be considered for inclusion. Please send this message to anyone you know who might like to participate in this summer's hottest show.

I do actually have a contact that might have something of use on the go. A good friend of mine has been working on a Sonic Chair. More info to follow.
sounds good, looking forward to hearing more ...
DESCRIPTION: SONIC CHAIR (Something for the girl with everything)
ARTIST: DAVID HANDFORD
SONIC CHAIR is a sonic furniture device consisting of a 1920’s armchair of dimensions 3’ x 3’ x 3’, adapted to contain a powerful acoustic system in the seat base and chambered back of the chair, along with electronics to control the resulting sound.
People engage with the chair by sitting in it individually and experiencing sound through their body as a physical force of nature and not just in the usual auditory way.
The device can be used to appreciate all forms of music fed into it, along with the option of two variable voltage-controlled oscillators that create powerful vibrations, controlled by the user from the arm of the chair.
The resulting waveforms can create various physical effects, such as excitation, pleasure and pain relief depending on their frequency and intensity.
The work has its roots in both Tibetan Buddhist theories of sound healing, and Cymatics, the scientific study of the effects of frequency on the human physiology.
This is part one of David’s A Matter of Sonology triptych of sound works, with
Ripple Tank and Monolith to follow in 2010/11.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS:
The work is a self-contained armchair with sound system and electronics enclosed.
Because of this the only technical requirement is for a nearby mains electricity socket and enough space (say 15 feet by 15 feet) for the chair and audience.
