Interactive Sound Experience Opens at Outernet London

(eap) A new sound experience entitled “Enchanted Forest: The Melody of Spirits” has opened yesterday in The Now Building at London’s entertainment district Outernet – an interactive musical adventure designed for visitors of all ages, free of charge and with no booking required.

Developed in collaboration with borabora studios and Entertainment Development, the walk-in installation puts guests at the heart of a magical musical journey revolving around enchanted forest spirits. By scanning a QR code with their own smartphone, visitors generate their personal digital spirit character and actively take part in a real-time orchestral performance. By triggering different sound layers, participants help bring the silent forest back to life through music.

We keep pushing the boundaries at Outernet and this is another leap forward in showing what is possible to do on our immense screens. We look forward to welcoming visitors to try out this beautifully playful and immersive experience,” said Philip O’Ferrall, CEO of Outernet.

The installation reacts live to visitor movements and musical inputs and offers more than 300 possible variations per session – ensuring that each composition is unique and co-created by the guests in the space.

Florian Woegerer, CEO of borabora studios, emphasized: “Creating a magical space that brings smiles to people‘s faces and offers an escape from the busy streets of London was a truly rewarding experience. Having the opportunity to work with a 16K screen and develop real-time content that genuinely ‘wows’ audiences – that’s what it’s all about. The collaboration with the Outernet team went great, and we became more than just partners. A heartfelt thank you and special credits go to Dennis Meyer, our lead software architect, and Gerard Pastor from Entertainment Development, the lead composer, whose incredible work made this experience truly magical.” ■
