You can now stream this epic VR concert for free on YouTube
Soundscape opens its doors: You can now watch the entire one-hour deadmau5 VR concert for free.
As Soundscape recently announced, the immersive VR concert experience featuring deadmau5 is now available for free on YouTube. The one-hour concert film features the complete audiovisual performance that originally premiered exclusively on Soundscape's VR and PC platform in May 2024.
According to Eric Alexander, creator of Soundscape, the release on YouTube is intended to bring the concert experience to a wider audience. "This release allows anyone with an internet connection to enjoy the groundbreaking combination of music and technology," says Alexander.
The performance uses Unreal Engine 5 and proprietary technologies such as Soundscape's "Sonic AI" transformation system. The concert has already been nominated for five international XR Awards for its technical innovations.
Soundscape has already announced its next major collaboration for 2025: A collaborative project with DJs Chris Lake and Fisher is in the works.
From Burning Man to VR Concert Platform
Soundscape was originally founded in 2017 as a complement to the Burning Man festival in Colorado. What began as a 3D audiovisualizer has evolved over the years into a full-fledged social VR platform with public and private spaces, as well as virtual clubs.
The platform has already hosted several prominent VR concerts. In 2022, Soundscape brought a performance by Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators into the virtual world. The system enables spatial audio, elaborate visual effects and avatar systems — such as a 30-meter-high artist avatar for deadmau5.
The current version of Soundscape is based on Unreal Engine 5 and uses the proprietary Sonic AI from version 4, which provides improved audio-visual responses and effects.
