AUDIOVISUAL PERFORMANCE

From the year 2017 the band decided to add to its composition an audiovisual setting that would alternate different disciplines on the stage and cause a different impact on the audience. The particularity lies in the synchronization via MIDI that is done through the computers that the group uses during their live performances.
