BORIS PREPARE FOR TOMORROW’S “'NO' WORLD TOUR IN YOUR HEAD 2021"
The interactive YouTube super-chat, 360 degree video stream will commence May 1st at 8am (PST) / 11am (EST) / Euro 17:00 GMT+2.
"No two viewing experiences will be alike, giving the stream added replay value... the possibilities are unlimited as Boris seek a truly interactive 'livestream' experience." - Consequence of Sound
Tomorrow, May 1st, Boris will release their first streaming show ever — “’NO’ World Tour In Your Head 2021.” This incredible video was shot with a 360 degree camera that allows for audience participation; it is a live show that is only complete when viewed by the audience. For viewers, this is a “tour in your head.”
Boris’ Atsuo comments, “Since the Coronavirus is still ruling the world, we are unable to tour overseas. With this NO stream, we are taking a new approach and we are going to visit you directly in your head. I'm looking forward to it. Mosh in your room. Mosh alone!”
Shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic crisis broke out, Boris released their album NO to the world in quick fashion. While the world fell into stagnation, Boris displayed a capability to move forward into the future with the album’s initial release on Bandcamp in July of 2020. CD and vinyl versions were released in Japan in November 2020, and the corresponding release party was recorded behind closed doors at Tokyo Venue Fever. A full live set of the album NO was shot using a 360 degree camera.
The “’NO’ World Tour In Your Head 2021” will stream from May 1st through May 10th; premiering Saturday the 1st at 8am (PST) & 11am (EST) / Euro 17:00 GMT+2. Program run time is 50 min and can be viewed via Boris official youtube channel here.
The intent of calling this a "tour" is to give meaning to the experience of "participation”, which live shows usually have. Differing from conventional live concert footage, that, rather than a fixed camera angle, it is possible for viewers to look freely in any direction they wish to in a full 360 degrees. While it is still currently difficult to hold live shows as they were held before due to limitations and restrictions from the coronavirus pandemic, here is a new live experience that the audience can participate in. As the camera and your eyes become one in the same, each time you watch, it will create a new experience and passage of time. The cutting edge of Heavy Rock along with the power of your imagination bring this remarkable innovation to the world.
