PSYMBOLIC >> This catalytic duo (Julee & Troy) are Audio / Visual Event Engineers that create Live Interactive Visual Environments in which they project evolving expression through their video compositions and the realtime surrounding spectacles. Psymbolic always aims to provide a customized thematic performance with synchronous moments of meaning and inspiration.

Psymbolic's theme orientated visuals are composed of customized video modules, in which they have been personally creating and producing by means of animation, compositing and programming since 99. During a live performance they use customized code-based and node-based visual software along with hardware to synch video loops, camera inputs and effects to the mood of the momentous music.
