Alternative Rock meets Fulldome Show
Musically, the duo operates in the realm of alternative rock with influences from synthesizers and cinematic soundscapes, stylistically comparable to bands like Muse or Placebo. The musicians themselves describe their style as science-fiction rock. The focus is on the fusion of synchronized live music with a fulldome show developed specifically for the 360-degree film format.
Visual production and artistic approach
For the visual implementation, the band works with self-rendered animations, ESA imagery licensed for planetariums, and works by external directors and producers. The graphic elements serve not only as a background but are intended to enhance the acoustic soundscapes and fully transport the audience into another reality.
Background: 100 Years of Zeiss-Planetarium Jena
The Zeiss-Planetarium Jena is considered the oldest operating planetarium in the world and is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. As a technical and cultural milestone of the optical industry, the venue has long since evolved from pure astronomy education into an innovative space for modern fulldome shows, cultural crossover projects, and immersive art experiences.
