Cosm, a leading experiential media and immersive technology company, taps composer Ricardo Romaneiro for their new L.A. venue: the world’s first 87-foot diameter 12K LED dome.

"LIQUIDVERSE: Microcosm & Macrocosm” will be an immersive audiovisual symphonic experience that guides audience participants through a multi-sensory journey into, and beyond, the beginning of the universe.

Specifically crafted for Cosm’s groundbreaking 87-foot 12K LED dome and unique spatial audio system, LIQUIDVERSE will fuse together electronic sounds and orchestral music with vibrant liquid visuals, creating a “shared reality” experience that seamlessly bridges the gap between virtual and physical realities.

Created by Ricardo Romaneiro, this project is a collaboration of artists and technologists, including:

• Cosm Studios

• Grammy-nominated Metropolis Ensemble (led by Andrew Cyr)

• Liquid Light Lab (led by Steve Pavlovsky)

• Legacy Sound (led by Grammy-winning engineer Silas Brown)

• Grammy-nominated Sandbox Percussion

• Pianist Ola Gjeilo

• Visual artists from My Microscopic World, Cosmodernism, Yonkers Vidal, and Journey of Curiosity
