Sunday 10/20: Boston Immersive Music Festival Presents Joe LaRocca
The Outerspace Visual Communicator(OVC) returns to Boston with original music from Joe LaRocca on Sunday, October 20th at 7:30 and 9:00pm.
Boston Immersive Music Festival
The seven-weekend long Boston Immersive Music Festival brings together the best of experimental, jazz, classical, and traditional music that Boston has to offer with the immersive visuals of the OVC-3D.
Joe LaRocca
Joe LaRocca is one of America’s most sought-after woodwind players, earning a reputation among theaters around the country for his versatility as a multi-wind and multi-genre artist. Joe’s ease with all genres combined with a commanding stage presence has quickly made him a go-to choice for top theaters around the country, bringing pit musicians into the spotlight for on-stage musician roles. With primary focus on flute, saxophone, clarinet, and double reeds, Joe’s expertise extends to include a wide assortment of ethnic and historical winds, bringing opportunities to explore more traditional orchestral and chamber performances, as well as new experimental works.
Joe’s on-stage work has gained recognition from multiple organizations, including an award from the St. Louis Theater Circle for his work on The Lehman Trilogy (St. Louis Repertory Theater), and two 2024 Elliot Norton Awards nominations for his work on The Lehman Trilogy (Huntington Theatre) and The Band’s Visit (Huntington Theatre/Speakeasy Stage). Other credits include Jesus Christ Superstar 50th Anniversary National Tour, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical (Ogunquit Playhouse), American Repertory Theater’s upcoming production of Gatsby, and numerous productions with theaters around the nation.
The OVC-3D
The OVC returns to Boston! Bill Sebastian created the original OVC in the 1970s and performed on stage with Sun Ra at theaters in Boston and New York. The videos they made in the 1980s were recently featured in a retrospective at the Roulette Theater in Brooklyn and in Inside the Light World released by Strut Records. The OVC allowed an artist to create visual projections with the same total spontaneous control that a musician has over sound. Sebastian's OVC-3D extends that concept to immersive 3D worlds that can be entered using VR headsets. Bill will be performing live on the OVC-3D at every festival event, accompanying the musicians as they explore a wide range of musical styles. The audience will be able to view the art both through projections of the OVC and VR headsets. Learn more at visualmusicsystems.com.
