On sale to public Tue 21 Oct,10am The Operatives are proud to present
the exclusive first appearance of the globally-renowned, mind-bending
Flying Lotus 3D experience. No stranger to Australiasian shores, the
artist known by fans affectionately as FlyLo has toured his past five
studio albums down-under, since he attended Red Bull Music Academy in
Melbourne in 2006 and met some long-term collaborators in the cohort.
Whether he's covered in women's bras at a secret Captain Murphy show,
getting the 'shoe' at Meredith Music Festival, or blowing the
curved-roof off the Sydney Opera House, FlyLo's shows have been a
much-talked about affair for anyone interested in experimental music
and visual arts across the country. Fans new and old, this time, are
invited to forget what they've seen or heard before - Flying Lotus 3D
makes the extensive and first-of-it's-kind stage show Layer 3 look
simple. Even the tech press has been floored, awarding the patented
show 'Tech Enhancement of the Year' (Pollstar 2019). 3D Live, the
creators of the tech touts the visuals viewable from 120 to 140 degree
angles, meaning the holograms, usually flat for the cinema experience,
can be seen from around a concert hall. Complimentary 3D glasses mean
viewers can see music and a virtual world literally collide - taking
dancers into a kaleidoscope of pulsing colours, textures or imagery
created by long-term collaborators Strangeloop and Timeboy. While the
incarnation of the AV show has been performed for the past 2 years
around the globe, and now is refined for his new album specifically -
FlyLo is quick to point out that no night is ever the same, with both
his music and visuals being improvised live by himself and the visual
artists. We don't want to give away too much of what revellers can
expect to see - but fans will know what they're going to hear. Flying
Lotus' 2019 album, the fire-themed epic, "Flamagra". Following on from
his Grammy-nominated LP "You're Dead" FlyLo's sixth studio album has a
dream cast of collaborators, the perfect foil for his jazz-influenced,
dizzying beats. No less than Anderson .Paak, George Clinton, Little
Dragon, Tierra Whack, Denzel Curry, Shabazz Palaces, Toro y Moi, and
of course, Thundercat appear. Even David Lynch pops up for some spooky
spoken word. It's an album loaded with jam sessions of electro-funk
with hip-hop intuition, and the propulsive energy of the music was
crafted with his cinematic synesthesia in mind. It's little wonder
Flying Lotus' music creates inspiration for some of the biggest
artists in modern music - born Steven Ellison in Los Angeles, FlyLo is
the grandson of Motown songwriter Marilyn McLeod and is the
great-nephew of Alice Coltrane. He got his musical start crafting
beats for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim channel before releasing his
own productions on debut '1983', the producer and occasional rapper
quickly gained a reputation for his unique take on dusty hip-hop beats
ala Madlib, as unquantized as Dilla, with a signature sound all its
own, dropping some of the most distinctive albums of the decade with
complex electronic odyssey "Cosmogramma" and the Kendrick Lamar, Snoop
Dog and Herbie Hancock collaborated record, "You're Dead!". Releasing
music on revered labels like Hyberdub, Ghostly International, Ninja
Tune and Warp, and of course, his own imprint Brainfeeder. Never one
to run out of creative energy, FlyLo stepped into his passion for
cinema in 2017, writing and directing the Sundance-premiered
horror-future flick, 'Kuso'. In his first AU/NZ tour since 2015, FlyLo
fans be warned - Flying Lotus 3D is coming. Fire is coming. Visit the
