For M83's memorable two-weekend performance at Coachella, I crafted and performed an audio-responsive visual design that played off the main stage’s all-consuming presence.

Collaborating with lighting designer Sarah Landau, we infused the set with retro-futuristic elements and a frenetic mix of shapes and prismatic colors, capturing the album's themes of irreverent memory and imagination. The visuals were intricately mapped onto five massive wraparound LED screens, creating a vibrant cocoon of '80s nostalgia that enveloped the band, enhancing the auditory experience with visual echoes of Junk. The custom visuals also accompanied their worldwide tours. Do It! Try It!
