Sonalux Presents: Music For 8 Colours
Thursday 12th March – 7pm, District, Liverpool
In collaboration with pianist and singer-songwriter Jack Joy, immersive innovators Sonalux present a one-off spatial live performance. With Jack Joy positioned at the centre of the venue, sound will move through eight spatialised speakers as synchronised lighting transforms the room into a living spectrum of colour. Inspired by the original eight-colour Pride flag, each colour becomes its own musical and emotional world - building towards a breathtaking chromatic finale where all eight converge. A powerful, immersive celebration of sound, identity and connection.
