Did you know? The Heart Has Brain Cells!
​
Recent scientific discovery shows that the heart has the same cells as in the brain.
It's a method which helps you to align your brain and heart together. Recent scientific discovery has proven that in the heart we have 40k brain cells which are the same as the one in the brain. So we can say that the heart has its own little brain, feel and think independently of the cranial brain. If we create a disharmony in our heart by being in constant stress and anxiety we may block our creative side, ability to be open and intuitive. By using a method of Heart and Brain coherence you synchronise these two major organs together creating more harmony in your entire body system which opens the door to your creativity, higher thinking and intuition, making it easier for you to get into flow and come up with new creative ideas for your songwriting.

What is Heart Coherence?
What is Be Experimental?
Be Experimental, created by Bristol-Based Experimental-Pop Artist, BexX, is a unique interactive-concert, where members become the performers and are invited to express themselves with freedom by journaling, speaking and singing on the mic, making everything up on the spot, to a live-produced, larger than life soundscape, so you can hear your initial song ideas as if they were on a finished record.
You will be able to sing to acoustic sounds, Electro-Pop, Trip-Hop beats and more, freely experimenting with your song ideas in different settings of genre, tempo, rhythm and style, resulting in an entirely unique original recording, like none other.
Be Experimental runs regularly in Bristol and has featured at WOMAD, Boomtown, and Glastonbury Festivals, and at Leeds Conservatoire for AOTOS.
