Neon Indian Live Performance With Kinect

Interesting setup... and Neon Indian!

  Quote

Coinciding with the release of his 3rd studio album, VEGA INTL. Night School, Neon Indian debuted a brand new live performance experience at the 2015 CMJ Music Marathon.

 

Powered by Microsoft technology, the show came to life through immersive visuals created in real time, taking full advantage of the latest interactive technology. Each of the five Kinect sensors used captured a different band member, reacting to the music and movements happening live on stage.

 

This unique collaboration between Microsoft and Neon Indian, produced by Listen, will allow Neon Indian to continue bringing his unique vision to life at select performances as he continues to tour throughout the United States.

I would see him live.

I did not like this guy when he first broke (long story but I have speculated he was aping various scenes and artists before the chillwave fad got big) but that said he's become better and better with every album. Really digging the newest one.

This is actually some really good stuff. It's hard to do classy dance-pop stuff like this and not come off terrible and cheesy.

Yeah, his newest album is really interesting - I was surprised at how many vocals there are on the tracks (compared to his previous releases).

never listened to neon indian but i'm a pretty big fan of leanne macomber's stuff as ejecta (now young ejecta due to some copyright claim)

Psychic Chasms was alright though I never go back to it as Era Extrana was far better.

I've not heard Vega Int'l yet. I really think this would be a fun act to see live though!

Woo I know the guys who did the visuals, I've worked with them before, sad I couldn't work on this one. I spec-ed out the PC that runs the show though.
