Fantasia Apocalyptica – Immersive VR Concert for Donald Knuth’s 80th
Commissioned by Google to honor Donald Knuth—pioneering computer scientist and author of The Art of Computer Programming—on his 80th birthday, this 360° concert film captures a live performance of his original composition Fantasia Apocalyptica, recorded at Luleå University of Technology. I composed the opening music and led the ambisonic audio mix, delivering a spatial soundscape optimized for immersive playback. Captured with Google’s Jump VR rig, the experience is viewable on VR headsets such as Meta Quest, offering full 3D audio with head-tracked localization.
