Motion-Capture Technology Will Bring Virtual Band EGOIST to Life in Singapore

Motion-capture technology will bring virtual band EGOIST, to life on 8 Sep 2018 in Singapore


7 August 2018, Singapore – Originally created as a fictional band to produce the theme music for the popular animation: Guilty Crown, EGOIST's great success allowed them to continue creating music outside of the animation. EGOIST will return to Singapore for their second solo concert with even better effects and technology on 8 September 2018 at Zepp@BIGBOX.

As a virtual band, the group relies on motion-capture technology and LED screens to bring their vision to life. EGOIST's vocalist, chelly, uses the persona as Guilty Crown's main female lead: Inori. While composer and producer, ryo stays behind the scenes.

chelly has yet to show her face to fans. To perform she would be hooked up to motion-capture devices to track her movement, the audience would hear her voice live but see a virtual image of Inori singing. chelly was chosen amongst 2,000 other candidates who vied for the position of EGOIST's vocalist.

The band's success allowed them to produce music for other popular animation series such as: PSYCHO-PASS, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress and Fate/Apocrypha. Their popularity in Singapore is also high as the VVIP tickets sold out within 5 minutes since tickets sales started.
