Neon Indian

Next level audio-visual

New York agency Listen approached us with an opportunity to work with Microsoft and electronic artist Neon Indian. The collaboration took the form of enhancing Neon Indian’s live show to debut at the 2015 CMJ Music Marathon. Throughout the development period, we worked with both Listen and Neon Indian to arrive at creative output that would compliment the aesthetic of VEGA INTL. Nightschool, Neon Indian’s recent album release.

Inside the music of Neon Indian

We created responsive, visual content for Neon Indian’s performance at the CMJ Music Marathon in NYC by developing a custom multi-Kinect (5) system that encapsulated and tracked the band lead, Alan Palomo, and his band members.The system mapped their movement and projected an augmented reconstruction of their reality back onto a displayed screen using multiple angles, movement and form.
