Peace Composed is an experimental demo which utilises the Relax to Win paradigm.
A piece of music consisting of seven distinct
layers, plays in the background. The
user is initially presented with only one layer and must relax to drift into the others.
As with Relax to Win, stress must be overcome in order to unlock all the layers of
music.

An extension of this model would allow different users to control separate parts of
the piece, introducing them into the mix when the correct biometric state is
reached. Imagine 30 people, all controlling separate parts of an orchestral
composition, fading in and out according to their physiological responses.


Peace Composed represents the first stage in the development of a system which
will allow dymanic composition fuelled by biometrics.
