Supporting Billion O'Clock | Live Performance
An experimental audiovisual entrainment performance exploring the theme "Love is the only antidote to fear." This live set investigated collective transformation through binaural frequencies and synchronised visuals, questioning whether audiovisual entrainment could shift collective consciousness from fear to love.
All three tracks feature vocals from Leonie DuBarry-Gurr, time-stretched and converted to binaural audio ranging from Delta (3.5Hz) to Alpha (11Hz) frequencies. The TouchDesigner visuals responded to audio in real-time, creating an immersive environment for what O'Donohue described as our "vulnerable old tent" of human existence.
Retrograde explored Earth's resonant frequency (7.83 Hz/Schumann resonance) using Tibetan singing bowls with analog effects, visualizing frequencies "dancing like the flickering of a fading fire." Anterograde examined collective hypnosis through audiovisual entrainment—shifting the message from fear (the currency of government and mass media) to love. Twilight Sedation provided a meditative finale, raising tempo before dropping to calming Delta frequencies.
This experimental performance used concepts from audiovisual entrainment still being developed for trauma healing, exploring integration into cultural experiences.
