Sunday 9/22: Boston Immersive Music Festival Presents Double Bass Night
The Outerspace Visual Communicator(OVC) returns to Boston with Transporter experimental music series on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 7:30 and 9:00
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.
Transporter
Established in 2024 at the Boston Cyberarts Gallery, Transporter is a series focused on music, sound, and performance. We’re particularly interested in showcasing experimental music that pushes – and erodes – the boundaries of the sonic, revealing unconventional approaches to making, absorbing, and engaging with the medium. In addition to curating live performance, a central part of Transporter is offering a space to discuss, study, and create experimental work. As such, we want to provide an outlet for play and experimentation as a way to highlight the process of assembling, developing, and refining a piece. Finally, we aim to foster a space of interdisciplinarity, pairing music with various modes of creation within the visual, performing, and literary arts. Overall, Transporter is a series concerned with the creation and dissemination of experimental music, with particular attention to its intersections with related artforms and modes of expression.

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.
