Anonymi & Elbo Jones

Elbo Jones is a character created to represent my experiments in bass, specifically the effects of brainwave-frequency modulations on the listener, with the goal in mind to create a more psychoactive listening experience. (For example, at 146bpm, the duration of a quater note is 2.47 Hz, a frequency in the Delta region, associated with relaxation and the production of endogenous opiates…..at the same tempo, a sixteenth note has a frequency in the Alpha range, known to increase serotonin production…these frequencies are especially dominant in the ‘wobble bass’  sounds in Dubstep and the like… )

Concious application of documented brainwave entrainment techniques to full real-time control electronic performance systems is the aim of Elbo.
