Watch Human Subjects

A collaboration between the JACK Quartet and composers Juan Pampin and Richard Karpen. Composed through a three-year generative process involving a series of experiments in which the members of the JACK donned EEG headsets and EMG armbands to explore new extended performance techniques based on brain and nervous system sensing. Human Subjects gradually emerged from those experiments.

Human Subjects is a 2020 documentary with a runtime of 43 minutes.
