Teleplasmiste is the duo of Mark O Pilkington (Strange Attractor, Raagnagrok, Urthona) and Michael J York (Coil, Cyclobe). The pair explore electricity and nature, through the use of two identical, extremely rare Fenix II semi-modular synthesisers, as well as acoustic drone instrumentation, including bagpipes, with the intention that the ear finds it hard to distinguish between electronic and acoustic elements.

Previous performances have taken place in churches and crypts, and at Farnborough Wind Tunnel, as part of the Speed of Sound arts festival in July 2014, in which the resonant frequencies of the space were combined with frequencies believed to have certain physiological effects.

Often accompanying Téléplasmiste is the Pond Scum Light Show, a series of live analogue liquid light projections devised by Jennifer Pengilly and Jamie Sutcliffe. An exploration of liquidity, site-specificity, and contaminated composition, the fluid projections are produced in an improvisational manner alongside the music of Téléplasmiste, using a combination of gathered natural materials, chemical surfactants and sculpted vessels, the light shows evoke microbial netherworlds, pool portals and subaquatic domains.
