TRASHED & TALKED -OUT HAPPY:

Played on the roof of Parco Shibuya to 200 people wearing B&W
headphones & radio receivers. A ‘silent’ gig with lights, projections
& mirror balls, broadcast to another place where people experienced
UW via Oculus Rift – a gig in virtual reality. In the same room
entire walls were video screens, delivering the show in surround
vision. At the same time we broadcast to Shibuya radio & to
speakers attached to lamp posts in the shopping streets below.
Finally, the last ten minutes of tonight’s concert were pumped
live onto the big screen at Shibuya Crossing. A great, if
challenging night, that sent people home happy & the rest of us
knackered/smiling. Five floors below, the tomato exhibition opening
night was rammed as we wandered down to take our places alongside
our brothers & founder members. Cameras clicked & flashed, hands
were respectfully shaken & speeches made before wandering off into
the night un-noticed, hats pulled down over eyes, clutching carrier
bags full of gifts.
