We worked with Alex Rigopulos and his team to create the visuals for a live performance of Evan Ziporyn’s gamelan based composition ‘Tire Fire’ at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It was performed by the Gamelan Galak Tika. The innovative custom playback system allowed a huge number of pre-rendered visuals to be live synced to the bands performance.
