PELLYVISION is a monthly cohesion of sound and vision. Each episode features a musical performance and selections from a different artist, which Alex Pelly visually accompanies by synthesizing live audio reactive video using a modular synthesizer and other analog technology.

Lance Hill is a Los Angeles–based electronic musician and curator of the Vintage Synthesizer Museum. He was a member of Bay Area bands USAforLSD and Shame Waves, as well as a solo performer. For over a decade, Hill has crafted solo live sets built around the interplay of synthesizers and drum machines, often centering on either the Buchla Music Easel or a 252hp Eurorack modular system. His performances embrace unpredictability, texture, and pulse, largely informed by the raw pulse of ’70s primitive electronica with the intricacy of ’90s IDM. For this upcoming PELLYVISION set, Hill plans to bring both the Easel and the modular system to the studio, blending their contrasting sonic palettes into a singular performance.
