Kasabian’s UK arena tour is finished and we are getting all our content together to share. It was a heady mix of high-end 2D/3D animation, visual effects and live action. Each track explores the theme of music visualisation with real-time manipulation of content by sound, the band or the crowd. This collaborative project with Andreas Müller (Nanika) explores interactive animation, sound analysis, face tracking, audience participation, live social media elements and live camera feed translation. Check back soon to see how it shaped up.
In the meantime here is a little taster of the show…
“It was like watching the best telly you’ve ever seen — a massive concave screen with spectacular graphics reacting to the thumping bass and guitar riffs. Hats off to the team behind it. They’ve come up with something truly original.” – The Sun
Our night of audio and culinary adventure was amazing at the Masonic Temple in Liverpool Street.

Based on the concept of light, power and electricity. From the pulsing of a tiny proton particle, to the swirling nuclear mass of a sun. Geometric designs play and pulse over Battersea Power Station giving a sense of a powerful unreleased energy forever emanating from within. Mapping the architecture the structure’s key details are illuminated, evolving throughout the night. Touching on the myriad forms and flow of movement that the concept of electricity conjures.
