Vijay Thillaimuthu is a Tamil-Australian audiovisual artist informed by the rich history of analogue sound synthesis. Often performing under the moniker Xenosine, he creates unique immersive environments that can be experienced across different sensual distinctions based on synergistic approaches with technology. This is largely enabled through the open-ended architecture of modular synthesisers and node-based programming languages. Vijay has collaborated with Robin Fox and performed alongside Suzanne Ciani, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Richard Devine, AtomTM and Dasha Rush. Amongst a range of diverse outcomes, Vijay Thillaimuthu has presented work for Unsound, the Melbourne International Film Festival, Liquid Architecture, Red Bull Music Festival, Asia Topa, The Banff Centre – Canada, Subliminal Impulse – Manchester, Zurich University of the Arts, Paiknam Concert Hall – Seoul and the Tokyo Festival of Modular. In 2024 Vijay presented his hybrid audiovisual projection and laser work, Tesseract, at the Brisbane Powerhouse as part of ISEA2024.

Electromagnetic phenomena has always been at the centre of Vijay Thillaimuthu‘s practice. Whether fascinated by the discovery of self generating tones through signal feedback, or the realisation that voltage could deflect and guide rays of light in analogue monitors and laser display systems, the driving force has always been the joyful exploration of electricity as well as the visceral, transcendental experiences it could produce in expression as sound, vibration and light.
