Kid Koala's Satellite Concert




Kid Koala presents an innovative collection of dreamy, atmospheric tracks composed especially for this event.

This concert includes a series of Satellite Orchestra tone vinyl where each disc is designed to harmonize with key moments in the show. Each audience member will be seated at one of 60 mini turntable stations which includes a small crate of colour coded custom vinyl, an effects pedal, and a record player. Through subtle coloured lighting changes in the room, the audience is cued to play along. The audience is an integral part of the show, accompanying Kid Koala to create an "ambient vinyl orchestra", melding their individual strains into a fluid body of sound.

This is the third in a trilogy of popular Kid Koala “quiet time” events presented at Luminato Festival including 2013’s Space Cadet Headphone Concert and 2014’s widely acclaimed Nufonia Must Fall Live.

Kid Koala's Satellite Concert – World Premiere at Luminato Festival

At the show, members of the audience are seated in groups of four at stations equipped with a portable turntable, an effects box and a small crate of color coded vinyl records. The audience is then given visual cues, through subtle colored lighting changes in the room, in order to help Kid Koala put together an orchestra of harmonized turntables that will create a unique, uplifting, dynamic evening of light and music. This performance, inspired by an interstellar journey that separates two lovers, is part of the "quiet time" events presented at Luminato Festival by Kid Koala.

When & Where? June 19-20, 2015 @ The Festival Shed. Tickets are 20$. For reservations: tickets@luminato.com or by phone: 416 368 4849
