A visual and musical event at Santa Monica Pier where the audience experiences the performance from inside the instrument.

Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, California (PRWEB) November 11, 2005 -- The internationally renowned MASS Ensemble's large-scale instruments and kinetic performances have enthralled and delighted audiences throughout the U.S. and abroad. Now, the performance group that invented the world's largest stringed instrument has partnered with the prestigious experience design firm o2 creative solutions to create MASS MUSIC DOME, a completely immersive visual and musical performance event, in which the venue is the musical instrument.

MASS MUSIC DOME employs geodesic dome technology, originally developed by Buckminster Fuller in 1954, to create a complex and beautiful instrument whose music can be experienced from within. The skin of the dome acts like a percussion instrument, resonating the hundreds of strings on the interior and exterior of the DOME while simultaneously playing the part of canvas to a 360 degree projection of breathtaking visual imagery. Architecturally and artistically, MASS MUSIC DOME is the ultimate integration of form and function.
