With support from The Creators Project, and collaborating with Perfume choreographer MIKIKO, artist Daito Manabe created a dynamic virtual environment to serve as the backdrop for two dancers whose movements across the stage are amplified by the graphics behind them, making each action feel larger and more emotive.

Real Electronic Music

Tokyo-based Daito Manabe has created a music video that visualises each beat through electro-shocked muscle movements.For the track Straight and Arrow by New York artist Falty DL, the Japanese digital artist used tailored-made electronic devices to stimulate the muscle movements of participants in line to the music.

Attaching the devices to the arms and hands of the 40 involved, Daito was able to visualize the music through the bodies of the participants: involuntarily jerking and pulsing their arms, hands and fingers with each beat.

Diego Stocco - Custom Built Orchestra

Diego Stocco is a one-man-orchestra, we let him speak for the project "Custom Built Orchestra" "I always been fascinated by the raw musical power that an orchestra can express, so, after creating a series of videos where I'm performing a multi-track piece with an instrument I designed, I decided to take the concept a step farther and create my own orchestra made of unusually unique instruments. The project started by handcrafting a diverse selection of instruments, then I wrote a composition where I could fit them all in and finally performed each part. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed doing it!"
