Bjork and BLACKPINK Light Up the Skies at Coachella
Bjork and BLACKPINK took to the stage at Coachella, and gave audiences a spectacle with over 800 drones to light up the night sky and created unique visual performances catered to their music.
Drones flew through the air and created different displays that matched each performance, capturing architectural and biological movements. Bjork described how she has always been interested in translating her music visually, and worked alongside artist James Merry to bring her songs to life.
Sound and Light Create a Multi-Sensory Experience at The Mirror Ball
The Sonic Sphere, housed at The Shed in New York City, is a 65-foot-diameter spherical concert hall suspended in midair. Its purpose? To push the boundaries of performances and music listening.
The Sonic Sphere offers attendees a 3D sound and light exploration of music with live and recorded sets offered each day.
With more than 100 speakers surrounding attendees, the exhibit creates an immersive music listening experience while light waves create a visual spectacle to match the songs.
Holographic Performances are Bringing Bands Back
While ABBA’s music is timeless, the band itself, unfortunately, did not last. Comprised of two married couples whose relationships both ended in divorce, the group split up in 1982 and they vowed never to set foot on stage again…That is until now…
With the help of holographic technology, ABBA took to the stage again as their younger selves for their virtual-concert residency in London, ABBA Voyage. While they were not technically on stage, the generated clones of the band captured the look and sound of their 1979 selves.
The band members used motion-capture suits for one month to capture the choreography, and now their holographic counterparts created a realistic recreation of the group’s performances for a live experience.
