AllFromTheMouth.com have teamed up with BOXCON08 and the Science Museum's Dana Centre for a special project looking into the science behind beatboxing, culminating in a presentation at the 2008 International Human Beatbox Convention.
We want to find out what on earth is going on inside a beatboxer's vocal cords, mouth, body and brain, to monitor beatboxers' stress levels during performance as well as discover a little more about the health implications of beatboxing on the voice.
A special FREE event will be taking place in the build up to BOXCON08 at the London Science Museum's Dana Centre on Thursday 27 March 2008. Volunteers will take to the stage to do battle whilst being hooked up to a series of monitors, measuring heart rate, breathing and stress levels. There will also be a talks, performances and interactive workshops.
There will also be a special film incorporating the findings of the Science Museum event with two special Laboratory visits, where scientists John Rubin, Dr Ruth Epstein and Professor David Howarth will be hooking up beatboxers to all manner of equipment in an effort to find out more about their mysterious musical ways.
The film will be screened on Sunday April 20th (time TBA) at the 2008 International Human Beatbox Convention.
