A Realtime Art Experience

Music transcends boundaries and technology merges with art

Being Waves places audiences in constant dialogue between sound and space while giving life to the music in a mesmerising audio-responsive environment. It is a physical installation that people can visit in small groups, but also available remotely for those with VR headsets.Our adaptable and audio responsive visual environments turns Being Waves the album into a stunning, slowly evolving experience.

  • A forest landscape brought to life with particle VFX, showcasing a vibrant pink blossom tree
  • A sizable orb emitting cascading golden particles
  • A barren desert terrain shrouded in a haze of orange particles, under a starry night sky

  • Our research focuses on how we can turn an album into a destination. How music can be used as an input to create a responsive environment you can explore. And how we can create a space that is accessible and brings people together for a shared experience, allowing them to connect through the music while witnessing a powerful and immersive sonic moment, collectively.

Being Waves is made possible by the generous support of Arts Council England and National Lottery, whose commitment to fostering artistic innovation has allowed this ambitious project to explore new ways in which music can bring people together, both in the physical world and the virtual space.

"I was immediately drawn in by the contours of the landscape and the movement of the visuals, which had a very clear connection to the music... it was interesting to feel how my attention was being simultaneously divided and heightened by the connection."
