- NOUMINA presents a story, an abstract narrative, a cinematic journey through the cosmos. From a twinkly gaze at the stars, we are confronted with a presence, a geometric object, and are taken on a journey to its domain.

We now have access to the collective Space Eye, and possess the ability to zoom and focus at any one scale of the fractal. NASA provides ...Read More

My track is the final track ...Read More
Audio is a live recording from the set, however the video recording didn't turn out so great, so this is instead a rough mock-up of how it went. Obviously a lot of the improvisations that took place visually on the night are missing, but this will give you an idea.
