What are brainzaps? You might also hear them referred to as  “brain zaps,” “brain shocks,” “brain flips,” or “brain shivers.” Often  described as feeling like brief electric jolts to the head that sometimes radiate to other body parts. Others describe it as feeling like  the brain is briefly shivering. Not a painful sensation but certainly  a jolt to the system.  

The work was commissioned and premiered by collective lovemusic as part of their Premieres in Private Places series.
