Thank You to Everyone Involved in Making ‪Electronic Opus‬ a Beautiful Success

Much like Peggy M. stated on Facebook, we are still grinning from ear-to-ear like the Cheshire cat over the epic and moving experience of Electronic Opus. Words can’t describe how amazing the night was and a mere thank you just isn’t enough.

BT performed to a sold out crowd at the Adrienne Arsht Center of Performing Arts in downtown Miami on Sunday, March 29th taking us on a journey through nature, beauty, and relaxation. We danced. We cried. And danced some more to the full orchestra, electronic beats, captivating vocals, and stunning LED visuals.

Successfully crowd-funded by Kickstarter and produced by the TanZ Group, Electronic Opus, in a phrase, was simply stunning, creating audial and visual beauty that touched the souls of everyone in attendance. The giant, one-of-a-kind 3D mapped wall provided by Volvox Labs sat behind the orchestra with over $300,000 worth of projectors to mesmerize us with colorful patterns and images as the night progressed.

With guest appearances by frequent collaborators Christian Burns and Jes, the night ended on an emotional high with “Satellite,” one of BT’s beloved classics, closing out the multi-faceted experience.

We want to give our many thanks to everyone who was a part of the making of Electronic Opus. It was truly an unbelievable journey through sound, body and mind!
