REALM (4pm)

This immersive sound experience explores how music shapes the mind and body, using compositions engineered to spark vivid mental imagery, dopamine responses and chills. ARIA and Grammy Award-winning producer Eric J Dubowsky developed the project with ambient artist Matt Curtin, creative director Tim Baggott and University of Sydney cognitive neuroscientist Dr Steffen A. Herff, with lab testing through the Sydney Music, Mind & Body Lab. Audience members can share their responses after the session to help inform the project’s ongoing development.
