Abstract


Psychoid is a live audiovisual performance utilising minimal electronics, sound/noise, and strobe lights. Loud bangs, cracks, snaps and static noises are controlled by the varying rates of three strobe lights. The noise and flashing lights increase in intensity and speed until noticeable rhythms and patterns emerge, reminiscent of hallucinatory techno and rave experiences.

This system is all very simple home built hardware with no computer involved. The simplicity and power which can be expressed through loud cracking rhythms perfectly synchronised with bright strobe lights can lead the audience in to a 'trance' like state.
