"A hypnotic journey into industrial dream logic, with multi-disciplinary oddball invocations" - Headfirst Bristol

"The deep and serious sounds of the double bass and bass clarinet combined with the playful and dreamy high clarinet took me on a hypnotic journey, twisting and turning through darkness to light, grief and hope, chaos to calm, running lost and found."

- Bristol 24/7

PULSION is a totemic, ritual-based performance that moves through epic environments of existential dread and wonder. Drawing on both ancient and contemporary modes of expression, it combines organic materials with digital augmentation to reimagine and transform indoor or outdoor environments.

​

At its core is an experimental live composition by Leeem (Liam O’Connell / My Octopus Mind) for double bass, bass clarinet, Bb clarinet, Eb clarinet, and live electronic effects. The music pulses between raw physical sound and processed texture, creating a sonic landscape that feels both intimate and otherworldly.

​

The performance is visually expanded through the large-scale shadow work of puppeteer Araceli, whose moving forms echo myth, memory, and transformation. These shadows are interwoven with Otto’s live visuals, using multiple projectors to layer light, texture, and motion across the chosen environment.
