LIVE FROM SPACE!
Projection mapping, stage lighting design, custom visuals, and live electronic music crash landed in multiple PNW venues to deliver the ultimate show.
The form was a touring event NOVA built end to end. Stage design, visuals, poster art, artist booking, interactive installations, the shape of the room itself.
It ran across Seattle and Bellingham for years, at Neumos, Barboza, and The Wild Buffalo. The bills were legendary in the region. The rooms sold out.
experience
Inside a crashed spacecraft in the woods bringing a message of light and music to the planet.
Guests walked into a crash site. A vessel had come down somewhere green and was still lit, hull panels stacked at angles that had not survived the landing. Ferns pushed up between the plates. The crew that climbed out brought synths and drums.
CUFF LYNX, Manatee Commune, Magic Sword, and SOFFOS played from inside the wreck. Several paired a set with a record release. Interactive art ringed the room, the Sandbox of Life among them.
Cosmic elation, all night.
the art
Custom visuals built around a single premise
Every visual decision descended from the landing. Geometry stayed sharp and deliberate, the hull reading as engineered rather than assembled. Color moved between deep space cold and the warm green of the planet below. Plants grew into the structure. The machine belonged there.
Content was cut to the artists, not to a template. Each act got its own visual world inside the same premise. Poster art carried the same motifs. The story held from the flyer to the last song.
system
Signature and modular stage lighting designs across multiple unique venues.
The rig was built on CUBIX Cubes and TUBIX LED Bars, both NOVA designs. Cubes served as projection mapping surfaces and internally lit volumes. LED bars ran the deck lines and instrument tables. Set dressing integrated into the frame.
Every configuration was modeled in 3D before load in. Neumos, Barboza, and The Wild Buffalo have different depths and rigging positions, so the stage reconfigured per room without redesigning the show.
