TRANSCENDENT WAVES

Infinite Resonance, CODE's new audiovisual concert series, continues. Tonight, a collaborative production by Balázs Zságer, Réka Polena, and Szanima will fill the immersive space of Hexagon.

Infinite Resonance is more than just a traditional concert series. Every performance is a new encounter, a new space, and a new resonance. Each time, the music fills the space in a different way, and the visual world does not merely illustrate the sound but reinterprets it and makes it visible.

These productions do not focus simply on a concert or, in and of itself, on a visual performance, but rather on sound, light, moving images, and space into a single shared experience. In the 360° immersive space, the music plays while initiating movement, creating forms, shaping space, and the visuals influence the perception of the music.

Transcendent Waves is an immersive musical event that bridges the gap between the mythical and the contemporary. Electronic compositions and generative visuals blend together to create a space for deep, focused attention. The series invites the audience to step away from the noise of everyday life and discover how our perception changes when we fully surrender ourselves to the sounds.

What insights might you gain if you immerse ourselves in the captivating world of sounds? What happens in your mind while you listen to music? What would you experience if you completely surrendered yourself to the world of sounds that permeates every moment of your life? — Transcendent Waves seeks answers to these questions.

At the CODE immersive space in Veszprém, Balázs Zságer’s live performance is accompanied by a 360-degree generative projection, courtesy of Szandra Mészáros (Szanima) and Réka Polena.
