Entanglement is a multimedia quantum opera that will utilize auralizations of interstellar data and brainwave sensing technology to tell the story of two time-like separated groups of people whose destinies become entangled through a mutually observable interstellar phenomenon.

Composer, sound artist, and electronic performer Ryan Ingebritsen's music and sound art focus on the multi-dimensional aspects of sound using clarity and lyricism to permeate and reveal the musical structures he creates. Though grounded with an education of the musical cannon of the 20th century, Ingebritsen's music stands with both feet firmly planted in the 21st. Challenging performers and audiences to extend beyond themselves into the realm of interaction with visual, electronic and natural experience, his music provides audiences a window to observe our multi-dimensional universe through the interplay and interaction of sound.
