Description

The Airship Orchestra is a mystical tribe of otherworldly characters beamed from the night stars, skin streaked with galaxy and voices like stardust. Visitors are beckoned inside the formation to bathe in volumetric sound and rhythmic light pulsation.

In full, the custom light installation showcases 16 inflatables (some up to six metres) extending over a 500 square metre area. The sound experience is its own spatial environment, immersing visitors in an arresting score, written character-by-character for a multi-person choir. The generative soundscape synced with light, creates an adventure that is aesthetically dynamic both day and night.

The resulting music is minimal and reflective, enabling visitors to conjure their own interpretation about from where the orchestra materialised.

As with all ENESS work, there are intriguing details to discover such as friendly LED eyes that blink and follow visitors from creature to creature. These artful moments are underscored by a rousing, rising rhythm that transports participants to another world.
