Ethersonic = Expanded Cinema + Industrial/Ambient Sonics.
Ethersonic is the solo project of sound and film artist Ben Hayman ex Loophole Cinema (UK) and Massive Stereo and This Sporting Life (NZ).
Even before the changes brought by Covid19 on travel and venues Ben wanted to find a way to take his solo sonics and projection work into live performance situations in multiple cities around the world, enlisting help from local players in each place. Ethersonic has since developed as a network of artists in cities where shows are staged. This creative collision brings film outside the frame and sounds outside of a gig to the night in a condensed Ethersonic set.
