What happens when Carnatic ragas share a city with punk basslines? Or when centuries-old temple architecture gets a futuristic digital mix? This June, Chennai’s music scene is opening its doors, making sure there is something to discover every weekend. Starting with Digital & Analog, the city’s edition of Fête de la Musique is presented by Alliance Française of Madras in collaboration with Omnivoid Labs and Deejayphani.On June 20, Espaces 24 at Alliance Française will be transformed into an immersive playground of sound, light and motion. Titled Cerebral Soundscapes in Paradoxical Realms of the Future-Past and presented by Omnivoid Labs, the experience combines live music with audio-reactive visuals and interactive installations inspired by both Tamil and Franco cultural confluences.“We have used 3D-mapped temple gopurams, finials, columns and symbolic sculptures of Tamil architecture, alongside Parisian landscapes and European monumental inspiration using generative AI art as well as visual tools like Unity, Blender and TouchDesigner; thus blending elements from both cultures into one immersive environment,” says Roy Dipankar, founder, Omnivoid Labs.
