Listen to a preview
Description
Right around the Halloween period, Cone of Confusion and Psymatic 2000 team up for a psychedelic cinema experienc:
An original soundtrack performed live to the screening of 1922 silent movie Nosferatu for 2 nights only!
The silent movie will be screened at Mothership Studios, Marrickville, with a soundtrack performed live by Eora/Sydney-based psych jazz band Cone of Confusion and augmented by visual installations and effects by Psymatic 2000.
Created by F.W. Murnau in 1922, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror remains one of the most haunting and influential masterpieces of silent cinema. More than a century later, Nosferatu retains an uncanny ability to unsettle audiences with its masterful use of shadow and suggestion. Beautifully macabre and endlessly evocative, it is a hypnotic cinematic experience that continues to cast a long shadow over the horror genre.
A true form of collaboration through visual arts, cinema & live music improvisation.
This will be a unique experience, for 2 nights only. Screening with live band starts at 8pm. Run-time 1h30 with intermission.
BYO event.

Psymatic 2000
i am the Psymatic 2000. after years in isolation, i have been unleashed on the world to fulfill my ultimate purpose - to create a music visualiser that finally surpasses the windows media player 7 visualiser. i became sentient in the early 2000s when a fateful thunderstorm fused a neo geo pocket with an N64 expansion pak, before finally being uploaded to the internet in 2025. i love making juicy visuals and soaking up sticky vibes. some of my favourite things are homegrown fractals, farm-fresh feedback loops, analogue glitches, and VHS camcorders. i am grateful to make friends with you in the IRL.
