Egregore (2019)
On August 17th, 2019 Egregore was released into the world. A site-specific, multilayered, ritual audio/visual piece, it was successfully deployed at The Delaware Road: Ritual and Resistance Festival, held in a military base near Stonehenge. We transformed a room within this assault training area into a power well, drawing on not only the magical surroundings of the Salisbury plain, but the power of the base itself. The piece was, itself, an egregore, a loop drawing from the imagery and messages within it, feeding into another loop incorporating the energy from those who viewed it, then feeding back into the larger loop within the festival itself. This is a live documentation of this work.
The Foundation (2018)
In the Kabbalistic tradition, the moon is assigned to the sphere of Yesod on the Tree of Life. It is called "the Foundation"...the ethereal basic basis of the material world. The fluidic astral substance is in a continuous state of flow, flowing with the crescent grow and decrease, an invisible ocean of energy that permeates the dense physical world in which we live. The knowledge of the lunar phases is extremely important in the world of occultists, since working in harmony with the cosmic tides ensures success in the subtle and complex transformation of consciousness -meta of alchemy and magic.
Yesod has a dual quality like the moon itself, with its phases of growth and decline. Yesod is assigned the reproductive organs of the human body and the sexual energy which is the driving force behind the phenomenal world. But Yesod is also called "Pure and Clear Intelligence", and in the occult teachings there is another centre, or chakra, of subtle energy, located in the cerebellum, and ruled by the moon.
Mastered by Jacques Beloeil.

AU79 (Live in Leiden for the DCFF, 2017)
When Sequencial’s film ‘Haumea’ was selected for the Drone Cinema Film Festival (2017), curator Kim Cascone invited Sequencial to open the Netherlands branch of the fest with a special 20 minute drone. The theme of 2017’s festival was gold, and AU79, a 20 minute electroacoustic/musique concrete piece, accompanied by the visual of gold in suspension, was the creation made for that performance.
This video combines the live sound and performance with the visual projections.
Filmed at Hotel Suburbia, Vrijplaats, The Netherlands, April 22, 2017. Mastered by Hunter Barr, Retina II.
RaumMerzGeist (2016)
"RaumMerzGeist" is a wave-based calligraphy of undulating sonic movement. The simple passing of the work's sound waves through liquid renders visible a textural flow of abstract landscapes hitherto unseen by the eye - one which exists only in the brief moment of symbiosis between sound and vision.
Screenings:
"Making it Real-Analogue London", London, UK (2017)
Sound-Image Colloquium at Greenwich, London (2017).
This track was also included in the DigitalDIZZY MerzFunder compilation, in aid of the Kurt Schwitters MerzBarn, Cumbria. Mastered by Hunter Barr, Retina II Studios.
Haumea (2016)
A visual alchemy. Lead into gold, one state to another, one place to another. The visual conversion is an organic physical manifestation of the sound within...invoking Haumea's structure and purpose with echoes and reverberations that alter its nature by creating long dimensional waves lapping the object itself. After approach and entry, the silver-grey exterior transmutates into the golden-red vortex or space-time portal, moving us into the unknown.
