Encounter the infinite in this audiovisual experience.

Oblation, a powerful new work by Tamil-Australian electronic composer Vijay Thillaimuthu, invites audiences to encounter the infinite. Drawing inspiration from chanting practices and the intricate relationship between vibration and geometry, mantra and mandala. Informed by the rich history of sound creation, Oblation merges lasers, projections, cymatics, and evocative Carnatic music to create a restorative and transformative sensory space.

Visualising sonic performance through intricate patterns formed by sound vibrations, the experience unfolds beneath a large-scale three-dimensional projection surface. At its centre, an expansive web of electronics towers above, serving as a site of creation, contemplation, and connection.

The work is performed in collaboration with Hari Sivanesan’s ensemble, whose traditional Carnatic vocals and instrumentation bring deep emotional resonance to the performance. Oblation explores the birth of the universe through embryonic shapes and chanting, evoking the emergence of form from the formless and a profound throughline from the ancient to the emergent. Through light and sound synthesis, this phenomenal audiovisual experience forges connections across time and space, creating a space for both restoration and transformation.

Artists: Vijay Thillaimuthu featuring the Hari Sivanesan Ensemble.
