I have recently acquired a binaural beat generator. (A devices that uses summed frequencies to generate beats that are normally below the threshold of human hearing.)
This device is used to induce brain wave states varying from deep relaxation and sleep to high states of alertness.
Would it be ethical to use such a device as a musical element in a composition that might be played for people who are unaware that they are being subjected to an involuntarily altered state of consciousness? (I intend to label everything,but, once something is created it can get away from you.)

Did you know that people can "alter their state of brian waves" consciously and sub-consciously

Relax, if you hurt any one you will get sued and be broke.

Then all your problems will be solved.

MAn music is a free state of mental exploration you can do anything as long as you are not telling people to commit a crime. You could say hey... buy a Pepsi or a reeses cup or some gum or something! Well im just saying! So you should do trials and stuff

by the way. Did you know that in theory there are sounds that could actually KILL YOU?



I've never heard them. But still...
