Yuri Umemoto: VM_1.0 (2022)

for virtual reality, performers and audience

"VM_1.0" is a work for virtual reality, performers and audience. Virtual music is created by using the three-dimensional coordinates and information triggered by the performer in a virtual space where the participants wear VR goggles to access the music and space. The virtual space and the real space (concert hall) are isolated with the latter projecting the former's third-person perspective. - Yuri Umemoto
