In live show this interaction takes the form of a ritual, an implicit dialogue between Paul and Nicolas. Only they seem to understand the rules and codes of it, but they bring it perceptible by anyone in an audiovisual show.
Inspired by acousmatic, analog and tribal musics, the sounds atmosphere of OP8 are like an IDM / Ambient sweet and hypnotic music.
Revisiting analog video synthesizers, the visual style of the duo explores an infinity of algorithms and generative visuals, close to a pure surrealism / aesthetic.
