The music of forgotten future is about layers, details and emotions. The aim of the interactive online music experience is to give you the opportunity to discover dozens upon dozens of layers, each full of intricate details, for every scene of the W1 journey. Not only you will encounter philosophical and aesthetic links between the visuals, sonics and emotional ingredients, you’ll also be able to create your own mix of them by using six faders that adjust the sonic, musical, visual and emotional subtleties of the music, the artwork and the multiversal concepts.
Get lost in discovering new details for your philosophical endeavors. Or, keep it minimal and create an ambient soundtrack as the sonic backdrop for your evening in the exhibition view — the experience is yours to shape.
