BBC Radiophonic Workshop Pioneers Will Use Internet Latency to Create Music
“We had the bright idea of using latency to make a loop of music.” BBC‘s Radiophonic Workshop is the team behind the iconic themes from Doctor Who and The Hitchhiker’s Guide To the Galaxy as well as the storied Beatles song “Carnival of Light,” which was never released and remains in the possession of Paul McCartney. Now, the Radiophonic Workshop seeks to make history once again. They’ll hold a special livestreamed performance of “Latency,” a virtual performance inspired by Zoom meetings that uses latency to create musical loops and improvised performances. The brains behind the “Latency” concept, Bob Earland and Paddy Kingsland, were inspired by the struggle of playing in synchronicity during ...

In his official return to the festival scene, Kayzo went as hard as you could imagine. In his official return to the festival scene, Kayzo went as hard as you could imagine. The bass music titan touched down in East Asia for Ultra Taiwan and didn’t disappoint, dropping an absolute flamethrower of a set chock full of his anthemic bass music and signature, metal-infused electronic sound. It was an unreleased ID that he debuted at the end of his set, however, that had the crowd buzzing about his performance. Kayzo took to Twitter to share a clip of the drop and exult in his first “normal” festival performance since the onset of the global lockdown period. “No words to describe this moment. Surreal to feel this again,” he wrote. “I almost teared up multiple ...
Major Lazer is Performing a Groundbreaking Concert in Social VR for Oculus’ “Venues”
Major Lazer is on a mission to shatter the boundaries of music and VR. Thanks to the impact of COVID-19, the live music industry has mutated into a Frankenstein-like monster of drive-in shows, Black Mirror-esque bubble concerts, and quasi-legal raves. Since live music literally has nowhere to go, it has invaded the livestreaming and immersive tech fields, which have emerged as fortuitous bolt-holes as concert venues across the globe navigate the convoluted process of reopening. Ergo, artists and event promoters have been forced to adapt to a digital lifestyle in order to reach fans during a time when they are simply unable to connect via live music. Barnstorming, Latin Grammy Award-nominated dance music trio Major Lazer is the latest act to do so by testing the white-hot waters of th...

Those who missed the in-person event or its livestream can now enjoy recordings from the four headlining acts. While most of the world’s music fans are persevering the global live music festival shutdown due to the ongoing health crisis, the party raged on in Taiwan over the weekend.

To the delight of those living in countries without live music and to those who might have missed the livestream, a fan uploaded the headlining performances to YouTube after their premiere. Included are sets from ...
