Symphony Orchestra to Go Live on YouTube
On the evening of March 20, Obscura Digital will transform the dynamic Sydney Opera House structure into a visual augmentation of a live symphonic performance.
It will amplify the artistry of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra event with real-time audio-reactive graphic projections. They will simultaneously canvas the interior and exterior of the iconic building with parallel projection shows.
“If we achieve what we are trying to do, we will be creating musically expressive architecture,” explained Travis Threlkel, founder and chief creative officer of Obscura Digital.
“We will enable audiences to experience the Sydney Opera House in a new light by using optical illusions that make it appear to be moving and accentuating itself based on what is taking place with the live performance inside the concert hall, essentially allowing the building to become a living, breathing artistic representation of the music.”
