STELLAR DRIFT is an immersive audiovisual ritual performed live by Gamgie and David-Alexandre Chanel.

Inspired by this phenomenon and by the aesthetics of the cosmos, STELLAR DRIFT guides the spectator through images and music in a slow drifting journey that takes him into the depths of space.

During the performance, everything is created and played live.
The music is a mixture of guitar and synthesizers that borrow from the sounds of electronic music and progressive rock. The voice uses ethnic vocal techniques. The set is atmospheric, combining different reverb effects, freeze and sustain techniques to evoke the immensity of the universe.
The visuals are also generated live from Oxipital (software created by Gamgie). All particle movements are guided by forces derived from astrophysical formulas. They are controlled by Gamgie and also by the music of David-Alexandre.

Stellar drift is a scientific phenomenon that expresses that nothing in space stands still, everything is constantly moving. Like the cosmos, the audience's imagination drifts during this show.
By combining the codes and symbolic elements of ancestral practices with contemporary technologies, STELLAR DRIFT has been conceived as a new kind of ritual. It is a different way to experience a show where the audience is invited to live and participate in the journey.
In their artistic research work, David-Alexandre and Gamgie explore non-ordinary states of consciousness. A documentary detailing their research and findings is currently being written. As a result of their research and explorations, they propose in this show to guide the audience to a state they have named the Drift, which is somewhere between hypnosis and meditation.

STELLAR DRIFT is thus halfway between the show, the concert and the spiritual experience.
