Adding to the excitement, the festival proudly presents Mesmerica XL, a fully immersive music and art projection show by Grammy-nominated composer James Hood. This visual music journey blends hypnotic 3D animation with Hood’s unique sound, promising an unforgettable sensory experience.
James Hood is renowned as a vital and versatile musical pioneer—especially with his work on the PanART hang, a uniquely mesmeric melodic instrument, and for his collaborations with international animation artists.
His lengthy and varied musical resumé includes playing drums in The Pretenders, an ongoing two-decades-plus run as the mastermind of visionary ambient/electronica act Moodswings, and an expansive array of production and soundtrack projects.
