SUMMARY:Experience Brett Bolton: Live Audiovisual Performance
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for an immersive audiovisual journey. Brett Bolton is a Las Vegas–based artist who blends live drumming with generative projection art\, creating performances that react and evolve in real time. \nUsing drums and a touchpad\, Brett triggers and controls tightly connected musical and visual systems. Every sound shapes what you see on screen\, turning the entire performance into a one-of-a-kind collaboration between human and computer. No two shows are ever the same\, each one exists only in that moment. \nWhen he’s not building his own experimental AV work\, Brett designs visuals and real-time systems for touring pop artists\, XR stages and next-gen venues. \n\nPerformance Times\n\n\n6:30 PM — Performance \n\n\n8:00 PM — Performance \n\n\n  \nWant a preview?\nClick here to see a sample of his work.
