Pulse Index returns with a new live programme exploring experimental sound, moving image, and spatial experience.
Bringing together artists working across ambient, audiovisual performance, and live composition, the evening unfolds as a sequence of immersive sets where sound and image drift between structure and improvisation.

белка’s soundscapes use cassette tape loops, modular synthesisers, and field recordings to create layered, atmospheric compositions. Through processes of augmentation and degradation, he attempts to transform raw auditory material into resonant echoes of nostalgia and spectral presences. His connection to nature, informed by frequent forest explorations, imbues his work with an organic, primal quality.

VJ SOLU
VJ Solu visualizes surreal environments, symbolic narratives and flowing compositions. Organic elements blend with harsher forms, ranging from flowers to geometric shapes. With a background in fine art and creative new media, she channels her artistic vision into digital formats exploring 3D animation, node-based visuals, and live VJing.
Toinen Kerros is a volunteer-led, low threshold, DIY space for presenting, practicing, and encountering sonic art practices. Founded and currently facilitated by the association Äänen Lumo, it aims to function as a community-driven space.

VJ DIN-AVI
DIN-AVI is a VJ and visual designer whose VJ sets display themes of lost knowledge, esotericism and digitalism. The visuals draw parallels between the alchemical and the computational. By using charts, symbols and incantations, both the digital world and the alchemical draw upon esoteric scientific methods in an attempt to improve humanity. The visuals play on this relationship, with references to charts, digital artefacts, ancient relics and forgotten environments.
