Survival

2021

Survival is a transmedial music performance by Marc Sinan. It is based on a contemporary variation of the Orpheus myth which tells the dream of a love that surpasses death. Marc Sinan combines traditional music from Asia and Europe. Videos of the musicians and the performer are shown together with generative and audio-reactive visuals on a total of 38 LED panels.

The stage design and art direction for the visuals was done by schnellebuntebilder for whom I worked at the time. My role was to design the concept for the spatial installation. I was involved in setting up a software system and I created a large part of the generative, audio-reactive content that can be seen on the LED panels. I was also responsible for the documentation of the project.
