PAREIDOLIA by Sam Peacock

Pareidolia

Pareidolia is an audio-visual electronic project, designed to immerse you in a collision of dub and techno. Deconstructed, extended mixes, will plunge you into hypnotic, bass driven atmospheres, re-interpreted and presented in a surreal world.

Sam Peacock, an electronic artist from the north east of England, collaborates with filmmaker William Keam to craft abstract visuals exploring the opposing shades of light and dark within the surrounding environment of the Midlands.

Over the past 4 years, Sam has been experimenting with different ways to interpret his sound in a live environment. Exploring new territories as an artist, combining his knowledge learned over the time spent absorbed within Manchester.

Sam incorporates an Anglo-acid sound in this decks ‘n’ FX style performance. With influences spanning from the Detroit techno scene combined with Jamaican dub mixing techniques, Sam eschews dub-techno tropes, opting for a more immediate sound. The resulting effect is a modernized and hybridised interpretation
of club music.

This work induces an abstract psychoacoustic experience placing the listener somewhere between a distant memory or a possible future, throwing the listener into a state of Lynchian escapism.

Sam Peacock is an electronic artist based in Manchester. Exploring everything from Psychedelic Dub to Minimal techno to Acid House to Ambient to UKG to Steppers.
