Deru (born Benjamin Wynn) debuts his new multimedia project “1979” at the Academy’s “NightLife” weekly party Thursday night. Themed “Brain Power,” today’s event includes lectures on the neuroscience of music and exhibits that allow visitors to control music with their mind, as well as Deru’s wistful, hypnotic and audio-visual show.\r \r “The fact that it’s about memory the whole night — it’s insane how well it all worked out. This is the first show that we’re doing in the Bay Area, so it’s sort of perfect,” says Wynn, the son of a neurosurgeon, a California Institute of the Arts graduate with a degree in music technology and a Peabody Award-sharing sound designer for TV and film.
