The future of music has arrived, and it’s got a beat like no other.
ELVIS, a pioneer in neuroprosthetic innovation, has just dropped a track that’s rewriting the rules of music, science, and machine creativity. Titled “Song v.1.0”, this one-of-a-kind dance anthem is composed entirely from the decoded brain activity of a baboon — the first of its kind, and a powerful testament to the possibilities at the intersection of neuroscience and sound.
Unveiled on May 16 on all major streaming platforms, “Song v.1.0” marks a historic milestone: the debut of a track created using raw neural signals from the motor cortex of a baboon. These signals, captured through cutting-edge neuroprosthetic systems, were translated into MIDI data — the digital language of music. From there, top electronic music producers sculpted the patterns into a driving, futuristic beat designed to move both body and mind.
The project represents a bold leap forward not only in music but also in the therapeutic potential of neurotechnology. While the brain behind the beat belongs to a baboon, the implications reach far into human applications — from enabling disabled individuals to compose music with thought alone, to pioneering new tools for cognitive rehabilitation and artistic exploration.
The track is already generating buzz across scientific circles and the electronic music scene alike. Early listeners have described “Song v.1.0” as “otherworldly”, “visceral”, and “surprisingly human.”
At once a scientific experiment and a cultural statement, “Song v.1.0” challenges us to rethink creativity itself. Can consciousness be rhythmic? Can neural activity groove? With ELVIS leading the charge, the answer appears to be a resounding yes.
