Hello hackers, and welcome to this little bit of an experience review of
|
|
Tomorrow Land. For you who doesn't know Tomorrow Land is this music festival
|
|
that goes every year in Belgium, and it has grown over the years.
|
|
It started somewhere in 2005 with a few artists, Aaron Van Buren for instance,
|
|
and the next year David Guetta was on the main stage,
|
|
and a lot of different artists has been there.
|
|
Some of the sweetest artists are Axwell and Engrosso, and Avisia of course,
|
|
and this year Katy Perry even joined with the cost of all the artists that was there.
|
|
Usually this large festival is two whole weeks, and both of the weeks there are
|
|
200,000 people in the same area, an area of about 120 football fields or soccer
|
|
fields, and that's a lot of people in a very small area.
|
|
So of course with this large pandemic that we have, they couldn't really
|
|
have a festival in that huge area anymore.
|
|
So what did they do?
|
|
Well, they cancelled the event, so there were no events where you could go,
|
|
but they opened up a virtual event.
|
|
And this virtual event has eight different stages.
|
|
It has also a lot of things around where you can buy merch,
|
|
and you can go in and learn more about the event and so on.
|
|
But these different stages, the main stage, the atmosphere, the core,
|
|
the cave, the wall, the elixir, the freedom, and the most bar are different
|
|
places where different artists are sharing their music, and usually it's new music.
|
|
It's pretty much the things that will be played on radio later on, and it's house,
|
|
and it's dance music, and it's just a joyful fest with a lot of love.
|
|
And I'm a little bit in a bus at the moment because I've just watched the last show
|
|
where mountain garricks were playing.
|
|
I really like this kind of music.
|
|
I have never gone to Tomorrowland.
|
|
I was about to go to White, which is a dance festival where everybody wears white.
|
|
I had tickets and were about to go, talked to my parents, and they didn't think that I should go on it.
|
|
I'm not that kind of a person that goes to a festival, dances for three whole days, non-stop.
|
|
I'm more of a person that sits at home, listen to great music, and do some evening coding, as I've done today.
|
|
But a virtual event isn't like the real thing, of course.
|
|
There is no crowds, there is no shares, there is no applause, there is no vibe.
|
|
So how could this virtual event be as impactful as I feel now?
|
|
Well, they did this virtual event in Unity.
|
|
They had a lot of developers that worked on this day and night, since January, to create these stages
|
|
where you had some virtual events going on.
|
|
So you were seeing the full stage that had built up with a lot of different elements like houses,
|
|
and there were fireworks, and everything like that.
|
|
And they also emulated crowds.
|
|
And the crowds were not super great if you looked at them closely.
|
|
There were a lot of copies of the same person, of course.
|
|
But the crowd was interacting with the music.
|
|
So if the DJ was saying, clap your hands, the crowd would clap their hands.
|
|
If they were playing something that was known to the public, or it was something really good,
|
|
the crowd shared, the crowds sang along to the new known songs.
|
|
The crowd were sharing in different tones and so on.
|
|
So really got the mood and the changes in the crowds.
|
|
And also in Dimitra Vegas and Leichmark's performance, as they knew what the software was capable of,
|
|
they were asking the crowd to light the bracelets on the right side, on the middle and on the left side,
|
|
and it followed through, and they also did some kind of a wave with the lights and so on.
|
|
So you can really see how the crowd interacted to what the DJ was saying.
|
|
So this was a really interesting experience for me.
|
|
As I haven't been there, I have watched a lot of the YouTube videos.
|
|
They release all the content on YouTube from all the shows.
|
|
So you can watch them later on YouTube.
|
|
And I have a long list of play, and I have a long playlist on YouTube where I listen to all this music.
|
|
And it's such a good way to get into the flow when you are programming and to be able to focus on a problem when you listen to good music.
|
|
And usually this kind of dance trans, this kind of a dance house music is euphoric for me.
|
|
I really like this kind of music.
|
|
So if you like different kind of music, we are all different.
|
|
But I think it's important now where everything is going around in the world that we take some time in our day,
|
|
put on some good music, whatever that is to you, listen to it, enjoy, have a good cry, have a good, get all those feelings that that music that you listen to during a specific time can give you.
|
|
For instance, I have a hard time listening to a vicious music because that was a real strategy for me.
|
|
But I really like his music and I really like this kind of a scene.
|
|
So this was what I wanted to cover today.
|
|
It was a really interesting experience to do this virtually, and I was able to be a part of it for the first time.
|
|
I hope that you found this interesting and if you have had a similar experience with music, please leave a comment, I will read those.
|
|
And to the next time, happy coding and I hope you are doing well.
