ElectrOper was the first electronic music event ever to take place at Vienna State Opera. The event featured artists like Carl Craig, Moritz van Oswald and Francesco Tristano as well as a visual live performance, including a huge 3D projection mapping, which was designed and produced by Beauty Parlour/Neongolden.

Most of the content for the visual performance was pre-rendered in Cinema 4D. On the night of the performance, Quartz Composer (QC) served as the mixing and playback tool as well as a Syphon client for a bespoke software that I created. This software used pre-calculated perspective matrices to render the sculpture for each projector and added controllable real time effects such as moving light sources, blur, etc. In order to handle all the projections we used three MacBooks. One served as the controller which broadcasted OSC messages and the others as players.
