Online exclusive experience via Fortnite
As part of the O2 stadium launch in Fortnite, I crafted an immersive & Interactive concert experience for Easy Life, expanding the visual vocabulary of their Life’s A Beach album.

As a bonus to fans, playing the experience rewarded them with a free skin and exclusive content, inclusing a brand new track.
Level 1 - Pockets
The experience starts as players teleport into a modern loft to discover Easy Life as giants, peeking in through the windows as they perform Pockets in the most immersive and intimate way possible - pressed up against the glass panes.
As the song progresses water starts bursting into the room through the doors, forcing the band and the players to adapt to the changing environment.
Level 2 - Have A Great Day
After having been flushed down a giant toilet and spat out into the desert through sewage pipes, players can now enjoy an open world packed with easter eggs and hidden items.
Easy Life perform Have A Great Day through discarded TV’s and Tablets that progressively turn this scenic desert into a polluted landfill - a bittersweet contrast to the song’s theme.
Level 3 - Ocean View
Players slide down a landfill and into the mouth of a giant fish, discovering a cavernous and intimate setting where Easy Life perform Ocean View knee deep in water, seamlessly sharing the same space as the viewers.
Level 4 - Skeletons
For the track Skeletons, players are suddenly thrust onto hoverboards and invited to explore a surreal city that seems to bend onto itself.
Slow down to watch the band perform through the building’s windows, or speed up to rack in points by performing tricks & stunts in this contorted urban labyrinth filled with secret passages and bonus content.
Level 5 - Daydreaming
As we reach the highest point of the city, players are pushed up into the skies for a brief moment of euphoric levity, soaring around as they watch Easy Life perform Day Dreams on floating monoliths.
Every verse pushes the players higher up, as pink skies make way for cosmic nebulas that heighten the track’s emotional core.
Level 6 - Nightmares
But soon enough, levity turns into freefall as the players nosedive into the last level: a sunken drive through cinema playing Nighmares & inviting viewers to swim around while cars fall on them from the skies.
Fortnite’s new virtual concert might be its trippiest yet!
The Verge
This wacky and charming concert suits Easy Life’s bright, stoner bops down to the ground.

In a time where post-truth news divides and conservative politics fails to lure in young voters, a extraordinary vote for world peace has dramatic consequences.
Epic Fail is an avant-garde essay that questions how we perceive truth, information and politics, seen through the dual lenses of our real and virtual identities.

The Future Of Music is a one of a kind 360 film that follows Carré Bleu, a fictitiously famous music producer who can modulate time, space and gravity to create the music of the future.
In this mockumentary interview, he introduces us to a new range of retro-futuristic human instruments he is using to create ground-breaking new sounds for music artist Polar Youth.

Wildly innovative and completly hypnotic.
Vice Magazine
A short, trippy masterpiece.
The result is a surreal, gif frenzy of gravity defying human instruments that perform all around us, pushing 360 technology to unseen places, and creating a story that the viewer can not only follow, but become a part of.
