The Astral Project

Mind's-Eye Music meets Liquid Visions. Experience altered states of psych-rock sound and chromatic consciousness with OMMU and Sam Caldwell.

From: Ōtepoti | Dunedin

The Astral Project invites you on a one-off journey through surreal sonic and visual territories created in the moment.

Ōtepoti psych-rock trio OMMU perform spontaneous improvised pieces that range from the gentle to the gigantic, from the sparse to the dynamically dense. This is true improvisation. No discussion. No plan. They tap into the unseen energy that flows between musicians who know each other well.

The band combines the talents of three long-time contributors to Dunedin’s independent music scene: Craig Monk (guitar), Jeff Harford (drums) and Tenzin Mullin (bass).

Projection artist Sam Caldwell transforms the stage and with his captivating liquid light and psychedelic projection art. Utilising a vibrant palette of oils, dyes, and innovative tools, he crafts a live performance that not only complements but elevates the space, creating an immersive, sensory-rich experience.

OMMU and Caldwell have collaborated before. The Astral Project takes the relationship next level!
