Performancy May & June (live music, ritual theatre, self-sculpting)

27 May 2026

I have already done three performances since return to Europe a month ago, two being new Collaborations I am very excited about.

Things have been so busy that I didn’t have the chance to do an update here yet about them, so I am now at least posting about the next few imminent shows (May 30th London, June 20th Belgium), with stills and video from the recent ones:

*Orryelle self-sculpting at L’Age D’Or surrealist event, London May 3rd ’26*

On May 30th in London Orryelle will again be accompanied by the ethereal yet telluric vocals of Christina Deva. Combined with his own voice and violin through loops and FX ritual ambience setting the stage for the dance of Helene de Joie.

Invoking Baphomet, Orryelle will then sculpt hir own self with Clay, horns, bones, fur, fungus…. exploring a range of transitory bestial atavisms.

Saturday 30th May At @helgisbar Hackney London.

Other acts include Saturnian psychedelic jazz-doom band Codex Serafini, Eys, and an opening fire ceremony at 7pm. Orryelle and Christina Deva are on at 8pm sharp!

IMMINENT on Solstice June 20th: the live debut of ELEMENTA, a new collaboration between Chrysopa Occulta (didgeridoos, harmonic chanting, flutes) Belgium’s dark ambient icon Ashtoreth (effected guitar, voice) and Orryelle (voice, violin).

This collaboration was created especially for the experimental music festival Zijspoor. After half a year or so of intermittently recording together, we will be presenting the results (amidst much improvisation) Live at this year’s edition:

Another new Musical project I am very excited about is HirSine, featuring James Hodson (ex-Faust) on synths and Orryelle on voice, verse, violin and ritual theatre.
After several recording intensives last year did their first Live performance at the recent 2026 edition of Music Magic Myth in the French countryside. Here are some first stills from video by Anka Mudra:

Expect a HirSine album later this year…

Next Update: Visual Art, including a new Hekate bronze….
