![]() ![]() I’d happily pay for hybrid audio/video releases of past or future albums in this fashion. I came in thinking it was going to be something closer to a music visualizer than a fine art museum exhibit, but they won me over almost immediately (even though I’d have liked to have heard more music throughout). I said elsewhere in this thread that I’d love to see this become a new medium to experience some of my favorite artists. For example, they gave out the entire In Rainbows album for free, or whatever it was worth to you. It’s rare that something like this happens, and it probably takes a band the size of Radiohead to be able to invest their time and resources into giving their fans something of substance entirely for free. After spending so much of the past year in isolation, this really felt like a trip to the fine art museum to see a Radiohead exhibit where they spared no expense. But man, I would absolutely pay money for a VR patch that allows me to experience this in first person with the proper size/depth/scale/scope/perspective that only VR can deliver. I can only assume that they didn’t devote resources towards bringing it to the PSVR or Quest 2 because they’re giving it away for free. I’m old enough to remember MTV playing music videos - this could be the 2.0 update for that, haha.įinally, I want to say that FUCK YES, I WANT TO PLAY THIS IN VR. I would think Sony could feature artists signed to their label, too. So if Epic or Sony have any interest in doing more of this and charging for it, count me in. All of these albums/artists strike me as being incredibly visual as well. Or maybe The Mars Volta and either De-Loused in the Comatorium or Frances the Mute. Childish Gambino’s Because the Internet or Awaken My Love. For example, an exhibit of NIN’s The Fragile, or the Year Zero visual concept that never manifested. I would really be thrilled to see more things like this. ![]() I absolutely love this project, and would have happily paid for it. ![]() I think I was expecting it to be a sort of music visualizer that played a double album worth of songs, but this is much more of an audio/video collaboration that features music from those albums but really highlights the art made by Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood at the time that Kid A and Amnesiac were recorded. There’s stems from the music are used to single out maybe a few bars of a song here, or just the drum and bass from “The National Anthem” there (with Nigel Godrich returning to handle the sound design of the entire exhibit). Take your time and walk slowly, look at all the details, read the words and the print on the walls. There are directional signs that point you towards locations that reflect certain songs, and the whole thing is a bit of a labyrinth that lets you flow in and out of areas. I strongly recommend that you treat this like an actual art exhibit in a fine art museum. ![]()
