A clip of a short live set at @factorysettinglive at MOT.

This was an experiment with some polyrhythms, with three @flowfal wands being handed out to the audience for them to control the filter cut off, release, and panning of each sound by moving the wands around.

Full video on YouTube - link in the thunkist bio.

Needs more work but definitely has potential I think.

Thanks to@simonmosimonfor letting me play. Great to see all the other Factory Setting regulars I've met at other events too.

This is an initial R&D proof of concept of a collaboration between @pell_ensemble @handmadesound and @thunkist - a spatial-sound, 360° film dance work that confronts the brutal industrial history of Magnitogorsk, echoing the human cost of labour through bodies, movement, and sound.

The music is motion-activated. Using smartwatches on each of her wrists, Rebecca triggers the sounds in the piece and moves them around the surround sound space. For the live performance of this, John will play woodwinds, also manipulated by movement from a watch on his wrist.

To give an idea of the surround sound, the audio is binaural, so best listened to with headphones.

Full length normal and pan-able 360 degree versions on YouTube - links in @thunkist bio.

Movement choreographed and performed by Rebecca Evans @pell_ensemble

Music written and performed by John Biddulph@handmadesound

@flowfal and spatial audio production by Simon East@thunkist

Thanks to Tom Bromley at @burnt_orchid for the use of his amazing workshop as the filming location

This is an excerpt of the @thunkist live set from @quad_tod at the @goldenlion_todmorden

To give an idea of the surround sound, the audio is binaural, so best listened to with headphones.

Two magic @flowfal digital wands were handed out to the audience for this performance, with some of the sounds then being triggered by their movements. The rest of the sounds were played by Thunkist, using two more digital wands and a keyboard.

The performance was in quadraphonic surround sound, so both the audience and Thunkist were able to move the sounds around the space with the wands.

Full length versions of the performance are on YouTube - in normal format and also as a 360-degree fully pan-able version - link in the @thunkist bio.

Full length audio, in stereo and ambisonic mixes, are available on Bandcamp and Soundcloud - link in the @thunkist bio.

Audience members @tate_1975 and @jezboyjez shown here waving the wands around.

A short clip of the Sound, Becoming Space event at @eaststreetarts - part of the Nomadik 3D Sound week presented by @iklectikartlab and @platformasia.

@isabarzizza and @thunkist presented an introduction to 3D sound and here the audience are using two @flowfal magic wands to trigger sounds and move them around the @iklectikartlab spatial sound system.

To give you some idea of how it sounded in the room the audio in this clip is binaural - so best listened to on headphones.

Sound, Becoming Space
New to 3D sound?

This evening offers a beginner-friendly session with creative technologist Simon East and our incredible IKLECTIK team, exploring how spatial audio, Ambisonics and multichannel sound systems can make sound move through space.

Then experience Venus / Zohreh by British-Iranian experimental composer Shiva Feshareki — a powerful live performance for bowed bass guitar, 3D electronics and speaker dome.

Inspired by the volcanic force of Venus and dedicated to her mother, Zohreh — “Venus” in Persian — the work builds through speed, density and overwhelming spatial sound.

📅 Sat 16 May 2026, 6-8 PM
📍 Patrick Studios, Leeds

For newcomers, music lovers, artists, producers and anyone curious about sound as something you can feel, move through and step inside.

A little bit of my set at @cv_freqs at @iklectikartlab

I’m controlling some of the sounds with the two @flowfal wands I’m holding. There were also two audience members triggering sounds and one controlling the visuals with wands as well.

Thanks to @eden_grey and Rob for inviting me to play.

Shout out to @isabarzizza and the @iklectikartlab crew for amazing sound, and @stormfieldcombat and @jackhollywooood for amazing visuals.

Some snippets from a @nicola.woodham x @thunkistR&D session, London, March 2006.

The audio is binaural, so best listened to with headphones.

Nicola is triggering sounds using one or two @flowfal enabled smartwatches, and in some cases using Flowfal to change the processing on her vocals.

Her movements are also moving the sounds around the spatial audio setup.

All samples by Nicola Woodham. Flowfal production by Thunkist.

Excerpt of No Salesman Will Call at the inaugural @bradfordemom at the @1in12club

@thunkist is triggering two separate breakbeats with the @flowfal wands he is waving around. Also, depending on where he twists each wand, it changes the breakbeat and drum sound for that wand.
