‘Ainola Alive’ live visuals

A live visual VJ set for Meidän Festivaali celebrating Jean Sibelius and especially his wife, Aino. dAb produced visuals for 4 concerts in total.

The performances were not known in advance, so a live visual set capable of adapting to any type of music was built. All of the effects were reactive to the music being played and you could control things by hand as well during the live performance. 2 persons were required to control the visuals and keep them going at all times. It felt like playing an instrument as a member of the band. We could play off of the performers and they of us as they were encompassed by the screen.

dAb also designed the stage.
