Augmenting Andriessen

For the 2019 festival celebrating Louis Andriessen, we partnered with Muziekgebouw Amsterdam and artist Vesna Petresin to craft an exclusive AR experience. Two site-specific digital installations brought his compositions to life, transforming the venue into an immersive musical journey.

Pushing the Boundaries of Musical Experience

Muziekgebouw Amsterdam wanted to honor Louis Andriessen in a way that transcended traditional performances.

We were invited to reimagine his compositions in AR, turning the venue into an interactive soundscape.

Augmenting Sound with AR

We developed a custom AR application featuring two distinct experiences, each exclusive to specific locations in the venue.

Designed with artist Vesna Petresin, these installations transformed Andriessen’s compositions into  digital landscapes.In the Atrium, De Materie unfolded through dynamic geometric structures, mirroring the complexity of the piece.

On the Terrace, De Tijd materialized in fluid digital textures, evoking its exploration of time.Visitors didn’t just hear Andriessen’s work; they stepped inside it. By merging music, space, and technology, we amplified the emotional depth of Andriessen’s art.

What Stood Out

Augmenting Andriessen proved how AR can push artistic expression. By anchoring the experience within the venue, we maintained the festival’s intimacy while introducing an innovative approach to digital storytelling in the performing arts.
