PHOSPHENES is the new audiovisual live show from Australian drummer, producer and multimedia artist CZUCHWICKI, that they developed as a thesis while studying a Master of Arts in Music Production, Technology and Innovation at Berklee College of Music, Valencia Campus.

A phosphene is the phenomenon of “seeing” light without light entering the eye. It is experienced by placing pressure against the eyelids. CZUCHWICKI marries the visual theme of this phenomenon with his brand of experimental electronica, tying explosions of brilliant colour with sounds from the trip-hop, downtempo and industrial movements.

With percussion at its heart, listeners can expect to be enthralled by hypnotic rhythms and luscious synths as they experience the world through a lens of childlike wonder.

PHOSPHENES sees CZUCHWICKI combine percussion and controllerism in an impressive display of musicianship. For this show, CZUCHWICKI developed custom visuals that use audioreactivity to modulate generative patterns in real time and blend them with glitchy silhouettes of the performance using live camera feeds.
