For the first time in Turkey, symphony and digital art came together at the gala night of AKM Türk Telekom Opera Hall. The 12-piece repertoire of the Istanbul State Symphony Orchestra was accompanied by an immersive digital art show created with innovative stage and light designs.
For this work, the visual designers set out from the stories, sound analysis, and algorithms of the pieces and obtained abstractions that reflect the atmosphere they create. While the 70-member orchestra, 40-member choir, and four soloists continued their live performance on the stage, this digital art show, using the iconic architecture of the hall as a canvas, provided the audience with an unusual and memorable experience, both auditory and visually, with the contribution of 40 projection devices installed on the field.
BREAKDOWN
Visuals for the performance were created using Notch Builder v0.9. Each visual was designed to react in real-time to live orchestral music.
I produced three digital scenes for the pieces Turkish March, Mazi Kalbimde Yaradır, and Ride of the Valkyries.
The compositions combined particle systems, cloners, and audio-reactive simulations.
