famous works reimagined by world-renowned EDM artist, fi lm composer and

technologist Brian Transeau (BT). This innovative project, premiering at Miami

Music Week, showcased a combination of orchestral instrumentation and

synthesized electronic works wrapped within a dynamic projection mapping

powered by Barco projectors, delivering what many are calling “the catalyst to

the future of electronic dance music.”

Blended styles creates universal appeal

The Electronic Opus is a melding of minds across mediums – a symphony orchestra blended with electronic instruments, soaring vocals, a giant innovative hardscape, and brilliantly shapeshifting video – culminating in an immersive sensory experience. Transcending the boundaries of each musical genre, Electronic Opus blends classical and electronic musical styles, appealing to a broad spectrum of demographics and musical tastes. Tying it all together was a stunning interactive 3D projection mapping show, fully enveloping the audience in a kaleidoscope of dynamic sight and sound.

Full sensory immersion

To create the innovative stage show, interdisciplinary new media design studio Volvox Labs designed and built a 52’ x 13’ topographic wall as a video mapping surface to represent a “physical manifestation of the animated worlds and a wormhole to different dimensions.” Barco provided three RLM-W14 large-venue projectors and short-throw lenses to power the custom sound-driven visuals, which transport the audience on an epic journey through space and time. “The combined effect of the multi-dimensional wall and the perfectly blended projection echoing the acoustical experience was stunning – you felt like you were actually inside the show!” comments Sam Krichevsky – CEO, TanZ Group.

Thanks to the extended warping and blending capabilities of the RLM-W14 projector, the unique interactive segments seamlessly blended with the exclusive synchronized HD video footage. An additional projector was used to create holographic projections on transparent acrylic panels in front of the orchestra, creating instant mega HD TV walls.

As BT recent wrote on Twitter commending this industry fi rst, “I don’t think people can imagine the visual component of Electronic Opus…there’s literally never been anything like it.”

Blending classical and electronic music with
