Psyché Tropes Three-day Residency [Day 1]

For the opening night of the Psyché Tropes Three-day residency at Project DIVFUSE, Merkaba Macabre will present a new sonic-light composition experimenting with controlled voltages of colour, optical effects, and synchronised sound and image. This work is part of the artist's continued research in audiovisual entrainment through the observation of rapid stimuli, using flicker, repeating patterns, and colour combinations. This performance comes with a photosensitive warning. Viewer discretion is advised. Doors open at 6pm with an ambient experimental set by Lynne. Merkaba Macabre [Live] Merkaba Macabre is a multimedia project by Psyché Tropes founder Steven McInerney, combining film, digital media, and sound spatialisation to create expanded forms of cinema, live performances, and installations. McInerney’s work investigates emergent phenomena, using the time-variant systems of media for exploration. Their cinematic work draws upon dichotomous energies, meditating between the sacred and profane. Live performances utilise multi-channel systems, employing a structuralist methodology that values error and reappropriation. From here, speculative narratives take form, often blurring the lines between science and fiction. Lynne [DJ] Lynne is a Japanese artist residing between Tokyo and London. Her ever-evolving sound builds immersive atmospheres with textural, obscure and experimental layers. As a resident of Astral Industries and Unknown Species, Lynne is most comfortable in the grey space between genres, where her rhythm is a gravitational force pulling her audience in all directions.
