POLYOP: Visions From The Polyhedral Plane

Polyop are a live electronic music and audiovisual group from London. They have developed an hour long spectacle set in an alternate universe called The Polyhedral Plane.

The show follows the main protagonist, a giant shape-shifting demigod, through the universe, after he wakes from a deep sleep on a desolate planet. He comes across a tribe of nomadic aliens who are harvesting a potent psychoactive crystal from a nearby asteroid field. 

Influenced by the 90's aesthetic of early 3D graphics, electro, breakbeat, techno and rave, the music and visuals are performed live on hardware and their custom open source visual software Hedron. 

Polyop have performed at festivals and events such as Peckham Rye Festival, The Lumen Prize and EMF Camp across the UK since 2016. They have released music on Nudibranch Records, Tru Thoughts and received support and radio play from BBC Introducing, Worldwide FM, Roy Davis Jr and Rob Luis.

Their open source visual software Hedron has become a tool for multiple visual artists around the world. It can be run standalone or inside the browser, making use of emerging web graphic technology such as WebGL and threejs.
