Simple Harmonic Motion
Simple Harmonic Motion is a fully integrated audio-visual performance
group that combines stunning video animations with New Age /
Contemporary Classical / Prog Rock sounds to create mesmerising
performances where the architecture of the venue becomes an extra member
of the band.
The band plays symphonic rock, often based on biblical subjects such as the story of Lazarus accompanied by an amazing light show that tells the story of their songs. The combination with Emma Brown's vocals is spot on.

Simple Harmonic Motion have performed in the UK, Denmark, Germany, France, and the Netherlands, mainly in very large churches including Amiens Cathedral, where the video
projections and ambient acoustics provide the perfect environment for
the group's music.
