Manchester, England, United Kingdom

Notes:

A groundbreaking mixed-reality concert event created by legendary composer and musician the late Ryuichi Sakamoto in collaboration with Tin Drum.

KAGAMI represents a new kind of concert, fusing dimensional moving photography with the real world to create a never-before-experienced mixed reality presentation.

Audiences are invited to wear optically transparent devices to view the virtual Sakamoto performing on piano alongside dimensional art aligned with the music. Presented in surround sound, the experience is both collective and individual, inviting observers to connect to the work – and each other – throughout.

While audiences may view the show in a seated format, they are also free to wander and explore during the hour-long event.

The late Sakamoto was an international sensation, with a body of work spanning from electronic to classical composition and performance, including original scores for Oscar-winning films such as The Last Emperor and The Revenant. KAGAMI brings Sakamoto into collaboration with Tin Drum – the world’s premier studio producing content for mixed reality devices.

As part of the experience, there is a scent specially created for this production.

Ambient, Art Pop, Avant-Garde, City Pop, Classical, Contemporary Classical, Electronic, Electronica, Experimental, Glitch, Instrumental, Modern Classical, Progressive Electronic, Synth-Pop, Experimental Ambient, Piano, Japanese, Soundtrack, Minimal, and Compositional Ambient.
