How artists explored 40Hz through sound, structure and perception The 40Hz project approaches composition as a research practice. Instead of applying a predefined musical model, the project brings together artists, producers and neuroscientists to explore how a specific frequency, 40Hz, can be embedded into musical structures while maintaining artistic integrity and scientific consistency. Across the…
