THE MOST INCREDIBLE THING

Client: Tivoli / Klang Festival       Category: Visuals / production

Estonian Kristjan Järvi is recognized as one of the canniest, and most innovative conductors on the classical scene. Together with Lau Lindquist I developed an immersive visual experience for Järvi and the Copenhagen Phil. We projected mapped content on a 16m wide gauze, installed a LED setup among the musicians that reacted visually from where the music was played. I wanted to see Kristjan conduct from front, so I programmed a real-time digital version of him to face the audience and spray liquid like particles from his hands in relation to the water theme.

A depth tracing camera was used to show the conductor facing the audience.

The animated characters motions was captured through the movements of professional dancer Marluze Da Cruz.

Custom software traced the conductors hands, to spray liquid like particles in accordance with one of the plays themes.
