Worlds Apart, Dream Together, 2014
multi-channel video for concert orchestra
2014 commission from the National Concert Hall of Taiwan and the Little Giant Orchestra for creative direction in stage media and video content for an evening-long concert event in Taipei. Compositions from Asia and Europe were performed by Dutch and Taiwanese ensembles with accompanying video projections to tell the story of multiple musical worlds weaving together into one.

The content was produced as double-wide video canvases that were distributed to two screens using a signal splitter. The images and animations were created with modeling software, algorithmic processes, and assembled in composite software in tight coordination with the musical programming.
