SORTED
SOUNDS
Paralysed
by excessive music choice? Meet engineers developing new search systems for the
music junkie generation. Trial software that ‘x-rays’ music to match your mood,
and feed into the development of new software in this interactive evening of
sound sorting.
This event is
supported by the Royal Academy of
Engineering.

VIRTUOSO
STRESS
Musicians experience huge amounts of
mental and physical stress during performances. Watch blood pressure, heart and
breathing rates rise on the big screen as physiologically monitored classical
musicians perform live. Get to grips with anxiety and stress management with
performers, scientists and engineers.
This event is
supported by the Royal Academy of
Engineering.
