SoundCheck x Platform Presents: GROUND | Nikita Zabelin Live AV (Melbourne)
Event Description
Platform and SoundCheck present GROUND, an immersive audiovisual performance by Nikita Zabelin, returning to Melbourne following a sold out debut last year.
GROUND dissolves the boundaries of a traditional live show, blending modular synthesis, laser, and atmosphere into a meditative journey. Laser frames the space while layers of sound unfold in real time, creating a sense of controlled chaos that grounds the audience and guides them inward.
At the Norla Dome, GROUND becomes a direct collaboration between sound, laser, and architecture. The space itself shapes the experience, with resonance, echo, and spatial depth becoming part of the composition.
At the heart of the performance is the modular synthesizer. Through evolving tonal immersions and minimalist textures, Zabelin invites deep listening, where each sonic element resonates with intention and precision. The experience is both contemplative and transformative, shifting between intensity and stillness, chaos and clarity.
A leading figure in the music scene, Nikita Zabelin is an electronic musician, DJ, producer and educator whose career spans influential radio projects, music labels (Resonance Moscow, трип) festival appearances, and collaborations across the globe. Known for his forward thinking approach to sound, he has become a central voice in shaping new directions in electronic music.
GROUND has travelled from European art festivals such as Portugal’s LUZA and Berlin’s LOST to unique spaces including a bunker 43 metres underground. It has also been presented in collaboration with Greenpeace, reflecting its broader commitment to exploring the intersection of sound, community, science, and environmental awareness.
This is not just a concert but a living environment that draws the audience into a shared state of reflection and connection.
