About this Event
Step inside a living conversation between sound and image in this one‑night‑only live visual and music collaboration. Produced by CONTEXT for VIVA PHX, this experience is set inside Arizona Science Center’s Dorrance DOME, a 60‑foot immersive theater featuring an 8K+ resolution 360‑degree LED screen and 16-channel surround sound.
With each 60-minute atmospheric experience, you’ll witness the impromptu relationship between talented local musicians and a continuously evolving cosmos of imagery designed by the Arizona Science Center team specifically for the Dorrance DOME’s ultra‑high‑resolution canvas. As expansive visuals flow overhead and all around, Garrison Jones & Friends respond in real time, crafting in‑the‑moment music scoring that blurs the line between performance and discovery.
Drawing from improvisational, electronic, and jazz traditions, the ensemble builds a live, evolving soundtrack that breathes with the visuals—swelling into pulsing rhythms, dissolving into spacious textures, and returning in waves that move through the dome like weather. Rather than a pre‑written score, every note is shaped by what unfolds on the dome, creating a collaborative feedback loop between musicians, imagery, and audience that will never be repeated the same way twice.
Perfect for fans of immersive art, experimental jazz, and boundary‑pushing live performance, this program invites you to lean back, look up, and experience what happens when world‑class dome technology and improvising artists share the same canvas.
Advance tickets are recommended and can be purchased online at azscience.org. There are three chances to experience live performances on April 19:
- 4:30PM
- 6:00PM

You do not want to miss this one-night only experience!
