External Combustion celebrates it’s 20th year of producing magnificient firework shows involving a wide range of media and techniques.
Along with our existing traditional shows we will be expanding our repertoire of special projects and touring shows to include Pyromancy and a new version of Totem. Over the years these projects have gained a reputation for being pioneering in bringing together art and entertainment to astonished audiences.
By combining skills in pyrotechnic special effects, fireworks, mechanical sets, lighting and audio/video, we have realised new ways of controlling space and presenting safe, creatively charged and reliably managed shows. We believe that 20 years of innovative work puts us in good stead to provide a fresh and imaginative approach to your event planning.

Pyromancy
The manipulation and editing of found material and our own video content forms a stunning and poignant narrative of mankind’s relationship with the natural environment. This combined with a driving soundtrack, the firing of specialist pyrotechnics and gas flame projectors within the allotted physical or architectural space, takes the experience of outdoor video projection and pyrotechnics a stage further.

External Combustion is in the process of developing a new set of video, sound and pyrotechnic shows, which involve the use of projection, sound, flame and precision pyrotechnics. A big part of this project is the acquisition and customization of a 57-year old Austin K9 truck and investment in computers, vision mixers, DVD playback and projection technology to form a front of house system with real presence in any space.
Now in collaboration with Hugh Jart .
