The Art Beyond Border Initiative (ABBI) is a platform dedicated to fostering inclusive art communication and distribution across the globe. Guided by the belief that art, culture, and music should transcend boundaries, aims to introduce art forms that may be lesser known in the West, fostering deeper intercultural understanding. The journey begins with musicians performing Chinese art songs, Indian Raags, Arabic melodies, Indonesian piano pieces, and traditional indigenous instruments. Over time, ABBI aims to grow into a broader cultural platform incorporating indigenous visual arts and multimedia collaborations, reflecting the philosophy: "Art Beyond Borders; Futures Without Frames". 

 

Phantom Melodies and Tangerine Trees: A voyage through the psychedelic musical experience

Using musical illusions, perceptual experiments and examples from The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Tchaikovsky, Steve Reich and beyond, Prof. Milton Mermikides explores how music can evoke altered perceptions of time and self, the blending of senses and moments of transcendence, and why music relies on the very same perceptual mechanisms for its extraordinary power.
