Red Bull Music Academy 3D Soundclash


Warp Records vs. Ninja Tune, Royal Albert Hall


In February 2010, the Red Bull Music Academy prompted Warp Records and Ninja Tune for a Soundclash on a 3D sound system, staged in the Loading Bay of the Royal Albert Hall.
 
FIELD developed a new generative real-time animation tool especially for this event, which motion designers Quayola and Thomas Traum used to design and perform soundreactive visuals for the sets of Plaid, Clark, Mira Calix and many more.
 
Built in collaboration with Minivegas, commissioned by Nexus Productions and onedotzero. See full credits here.

The sound-reactive visuals span 5 screens in line with the immersive sound setup.
 
3D shapes rendered in realtime, animated textures and shaders, and mouse-controlled camera motion allowed for a huge range of styles and endless flights through an abstract universe.
 
With the same tool Thomas Traum designed the title sequences to announce each artist in the Soundclash.
