Exploring the theme of transcending fear during these current times of crisis.

"You can’t negotiate with someone who’s insane and surrounds himself with insane people, but you can negotiate and start a process of conscious communication with the masses,”

Deepak Chopra on NewsNation’s “Banfield” - March 2022

Live at Duffy's, Leicester. UK 31.03.22

This audiovisual performance features sound reactive generative visuals built in Touchdesigner.

This sonic journey features binaural textures from Delta to Alpha frequencies & explores the theme of transcending conflict to try and find peace.  The visuals continue to explore audiovisual entrainment and were built using touchdesigner and the tdableton component.

Audiovisual set with R10 At BETA X - Leicester, UK. April 2022

Experimental AVE [Audiovisual Entrainment] Live set At the LCB Depot's Lightbox Gallery, for the launch of DIGITAL - Dec 3rd, 2021

Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) uses pulses of light and sound at specific frequencies to gently guide the brain into various brainwave patterns. By altering your brainwave frequencies, it is possible to impact mood, focus, sleep patterns, cognition etc.

This live set is a brief sonic excursion from Delta to Beta frequencies (1HZ - 30HZ) with the aim of investigating what the effects of AVE could be away from its formal (clinical) use and presented in the context of a cultural experience.

Live for the opening night of Digital, LCB Depot, Leicester UK. 03.12.21

Supporting @billionoclock at the Lightbox Gallery
Leicester, UK.  02 07 22

Vocals from Leonie DG which I’ve converted to binaural audio.  These range from Delta frequencies ~ 3.5Hz to Alpha frequencies ~ 11Hz.   The visual were built in Touchdesigner and continues my theme of experimental Audio-visual entrainment. (AVE is a subset of brainwave entrainment, uses flashes of lights and pulses of tones to guide the brain into various states of brainwave activity).

The audience members were effectively agreeing to be collectively hypnotised.  Essentially what our government, the mass media etc are already doing to us on a daily basis  - the fundamental difference is that the underlying message shifts from a fear to love.

Evolve +/- Die Live at OMC, Leicester, UK

Evolve +/- Die - Primal Power

Vocals and Harmonium @zeropence
Production and Engineering - Andy Harper (AJH)

"Primal Power" is an immersive exploration of primal energy - the raw, unbridled force that lies within each of us.  The droning quality of the harmonium from @Zeropence establishes a solid grounding foundation and a sense of continuous vibration, representing the ever-present pulse of primal energy. Looped and feedback-distorted vocals add a layer of raw emotion, symbolising the untamed expression of emotions that reside beneath the surface.  

AJH's sub bass is the pulsating presence, acting as a physical counterpoint to the ethereal drone and representing the raw power and intensity of primal energy.  This combination of elements creates a hypnotic soundscape, drawing the listener inwards. The distorted vocals, interspersed within the drone, will serve as jolts of raw emotion, forcing the listener to confront their own primal power.  By confronting the raw power within ourselves, we can gain a deeper understanding of who we are.
