 Tying into the tour kick off, EDEN unveils his "drugs" VR Experience, developed and distributed by SAMO in partnership with SB Projects.
The experience takes viewers on a visceral journey led by the music,
which SAMO abstracted into stunning visuals and a sprawling spatial
audio mix to create a one-of-a-kind sensory experience.
The
video is available in 360 on Facebook and in VR on EDEN's YouTube
channel where the experience will utilize not only the 360 video feature
but also YouTube's newly available spatial audio capabilities. YouTube
has launched the spatial audio feature that is currently available on
desktop and Android. The "drugs" VR Experience will be the first
experience ever to utilize this feature on the web. The video can also
be viewed in VR on Oculus, Milk VR, Jaunt, VRideo, Discovery, Littlstar,
Napster and Hulu.
EDEN recently premiered the official music video for "drugs" on Pigeons & Planes.
"It's not that I wrote the song about this specific storyline, but the
idea that things in your life really only mean as much as you let them
connects the visuals with the track and the EP in a powerful way. You
can watch the video with an outcome in your mind but things are never
quite as simple or straightforward as they seem," says EDEN.
Fans were given a taste of the EP earlier this summer with the first single and accompanying video for "sex" which premiered on Consequence of Sound. The track has already racked up over 4.3 million listens across digital platforms.
Ng
learned to play violin at age seven at the urging of his parents and
through classical training, discovered his natural musicality. He then
began learning new instruments on his own and discovered a passion for
songwriting. From the bedroom of his childhood home he began to
cultivate a large online following, and establish in his own mind the
vision for EDEN's future. In August 2015 EDEN made his debut with End Credits
and-despite making zero effort to promote it-soon found the EP gaining
major attention and ultimately amassing more than 30 million streams as
well as selling out his first US tour. That momentum continued to build
as EDEN released a cover of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" in November
2015, a soulfully cinematic track that hit #1 on HypeM's popular chart
and racked up a million cumulative streams in one week.
