A few weeks ago, I spent a wonderful afternoon with Amelia Read in her studio getting some new artist photos snapped and I'm completely in love with the results!

After months of preparation, I finally will perform Buried Signals tonight! The entire show runs from 7.30 to 8.30pm in a unique setting. You can buy tickets on the door or on Ouseburn Trust's website: ouseburntrust.org.uk/events/event...

To light Victoria Tunnel tomorrow, I’m using a set of 8 pixel bars that I’m controlling from #Resolume Arena. I love these fixtures, they’re really quick to set up & can create loads of effects. I built a 2D visualiser with @touchdesigner.bsky.social, which really helps plan for such a unique venue!

Bartholomew @bartholomusic.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

Buried Signals is one of the most technically complex performances I’ve ever made. As it’s not in a normal venue and the set-up time isn’t very long - it’s really important I know the system I’m using inside out. Hopefully the diagram will help during this! ouseburntrust.org.uk/events/event...

Bartholomew @bartholomusic.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

Buried Signals is a unique audiovisual performance I designed for the Victoria Tunnel that runs underneath Newcastle: ouseburntrust.org.uk/events/event... Tickets are limited, so get yours at the link if you're up for something different. #storytelling #electronicmusic #lightdesign #surrealism
