A live show could sound- look like this (culled from Labyrinth City):

Venue/Date: OpenFrame festival, Brisbane Powerhouse, 1/10/09.

Impression: “…[ILIOS] is standing at the back of the room, all lights off, and a slowly-revealing photograph projected onto a screen on the other side of the room. Using an array of electronics and utilizing the four surrounding speakers, he emits the lowest, heaviest subharmonic bass sounds to the point he’s just violently pushing air around the room. People around me put their fingers in their ears – this is loud at the most lowest register available. Experimenting with this fucking low, glacially slow sound the photo finally reveals itself in it’s entirety: It’s horrific combined with the noise and one of my most memorable experiences to date…”
