Saturday 10/19: Boston Immersive Music Festival Presents Violet Nox

Boston Immersive Music Festival

The seven-weekend long Boston Immersive Music Festival brings together the best of experimental, jazz, classical, and traditional music that Boston has to offer with the immersive visuals of the OVC-3D.

Violet Nox

Violet Nox is a Boston based electronic experimental ambient music project. Their 7th album “Hesperia” releases October 1st 2024 on Somewherecold Records USA. A review from Scotland’s Monolith Cocktail music blog, who included the band in their 5 top best & favorite choice albums of 2023, describes them here:

A sci-fi chemistry of vapours the Boston electronic outfit Violet Nox once more entrance with a futuristic new age album “Vortex & Voices,” of psy-trance, cerebral techno and acid ethereal-voiced self-realization/self-discovery. Wired into the “now” however, messages of self-love and inclusiveness waft and drift to a rhythmic, wavy vision of EDM, crossover rave music and soulful electronica.

Violet Nox turn the vaporous into an electronic art form that’s simultaneously yearning and mysterious. Fizzing with techy sophistication and escapism, the American electronic group continue to map out a fresh sonic universe.’

The OVC-3D

The OVC returns to Boston! Bill Sebastian created the original OVC in the 1970s and performed on stage with Sun Ra at theaters in Boston and New York. The videos they made in the 1980s were recently featured in a retrospective at the Roulette Theater in Brooklyn and in Inside the Light World released by Strut Records. The OVC allowed an artist to create visual projections with the same total spontaneous control that a musician has over sound. Sebastian's OVC-3D extends that concept to immersive 3D worlds that can be entered using VR headsets. Bill will be performing live on the OVC-3D at every festival event, accompanying the musicians as they explore a wide range of musical styles. The audience will be able to view the art both through projections of the OVC and VR headsets. Learn more at visualmusicsystems.com.
