Electronic duo The Orb is set to perform their first live-streamed gig called “This Is Not Here.” The spectacle is set to happen on December 19 and will feature visuals by the award-winning AV company Holotronica, who will project augmented reality images onto invisible gauze, creating vivid and fantastical floating animations, making the visual experience one to remember.
The live stream will be split into three 40 minute segments with transitions in between and will see the duo mainly play their last two albums. “The set will be 40 minutes ambient, 40 minutes weird reggae, and 40 minutes deep techno with weird transitions in between. We’ll be playing mainly the last 2 albums, and maybe a couple of old faves too” stated Alex Patterson, one half of The Orb. He continues “I’ve played thousands of gigs, but doing a live stream is back-to-school for me. We’ll be playing as live as possible. Expect happy accidents – definitely not mistakes”
Along with the live stream announcement, the group will also release a companion piece to their recent studio album The Abolition of The Royal Familia with the Guillotine Remixes collection. Guillotine Remixes features remixes from Youth, Moody Boys, David Harrow, Andy Falconer, Paul Metamono and Gaudi. The album features 12 tracks including their newly released David Harrow remix of “Daze.”
