𝘛𝘈𝘐𝘉𝘏𝘚𝘌 [𝘎𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘵]
(2025)

.

Concept and direction: Eoin McCaul (@eoin01)
Movement: Eoin McCaul
Sound/music: Dilan Kumar
Lighting: Finlay Wyer (@fwinter102) and Eoin McCaul
Filming: Millie Hine (@milliehinefilm)

.

A year ago, Eoin and I performed 𝘛𝘈𝘐𝘉𝘏𝘚𝘌. Eoin had spent a year researching and writing about ghosts, and this piece aimed to further explore his ideas through movement, sound and light.

Core among these was the idea of repetition being a form of haunting, a persistence of spirit. Breath too, became an important symbol of the borders of bodily contact and its remnants. This took the form of creating the initial passage through an on-stage mic, capturing Eoin’s breath and touch, mixed and manipulated live by me.

We developed this into a score composed almost entirely of blending live and pre-recorded distortions of breath. The only other sounds in the score are a gong, punctuating and contrasting the layers of breath with resonant impact, and electric guitar, which I performed live in tandem with Eoin’s movement. by @_dilankumar

@_dilankumar brings his solo project to @starinshoreditch on Sunday 25th October, stepping out from a wider creative career spanning composition, sound design and multi-instrumental performance. 🙌🏼🫧🍃His work for stage and screen pays close attention to musical worlds and their visual representation, giving the project a distinctly cinematic sound 🎦 Tickets in bio 🎟️ taken in The Star In Shoreditch by @_dilankumar
