Live Shows

Broken Composers performing live electroacoustic music and laser projection together

We perform electroacoustic music and analog laser projection together in real time. The projection is manually controlled: optical elements, beam movement, focus, and light respond to the music as it is being made. Smoke and architecture change the result from one space and performance to another.

Some works bring dancers, stage lighting, and theatrical action into the composition; others use sound and projected light alone. These are not fixed video sequences with a soundtrack attached — they are live situations in which sound and light share the same stage.

Custom Electroacoustic Instruments

Steel percussion, flutes and strings become the material for live electronic music. Physical sound and its transformation are heard together.

Theatrical Performance & Audience Interaction

Theatrical performance and audience interaction bring bodies, light and sound into the same situation. The work unfolds through their encounter.

Lumia / Signal Festival

Manually controlled blue Laser Lumia projection above the Signal Festival audience

This festival performance brought together hand-controlled analog Laser Lumia projection, live electroacoustic music, and synchronised stage lighting. The projection was played as a visual instrument during the performance rather than used as a fixed backdrop.

Large-scale Custom Laser Projections

Hand-controlled analog projection is part of the performance itself. Light occupies the same space as the music and the people making it.

Chaos Sq.

A performer’s silhouette enlarged by projected light on stage

A live performance with a ballet dancer on a deep square stage: a red laser lake, mirages, volatility, unpredictability, and primal power. Sound, light, and moving figures rush in seemingly chaotic fragments. They come together in powerful, harmonious compositions, then collapse and reassemble.

Lumia / Modul

Live prepared percussion played with a hammer, accompanied by red laser projection

An electroacoustic audiovisual performance with hand-controlled analog laser projection and live music. Steel percussion, flutes, and strings provide the sources for all the sounds. Their transformations and the analog laser projection are performed together as one event.

Club Sets & Electronic Music

Club performances and installation soundtracks are different parts of our musical practice. The archive includes sets at Werk during NUR, Slwdnc × Yoyaku at Mutabor, and Ääniwalli in Helsinki.

The recorded catalogue includes dance-oriented and vocal tracks alongside ambient music for installations.
