BEHIND THE SCENES OF VIRTUAL HARMONY

Take a sneak peek at the behind the scenes of VIRTUAL HARMONY to discover how a philharmonic orchestra, a team of creatives, motion designers and technicians united their forces to create an experience that combines classical music and generative art in an exceptional way.

Meet Alex Mestrot, SUPERBIEN’s Founder and Artistic Director who talks about how emotions led creativity to build this unique experience. Join Alex Le Guillou, Lead Visual and Colin Chibois, Lead Developer, who both explain how storytelling and music can relate to one another and what has inspired their vision. Enter the rehearsal room of the breathtaking Les Siècles Orchestra conducted by Pierre Bleuse, where music takes you to another word.

Virtual Harmony is a unique audio responsive concert in which video contents were created and projected in real time on a giant dome right in the middle of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris.

A big THANK YOU to this incredible team that worked closely together to spark imagination in Paris!
