Following their video for ‘No Love Like Yours’, which was filmed entirely on iPhones, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have shared taken on another challenge: a 360 live performance video.
Watch ‘Somewhere’ below – the clip was shot at SXSW 2016 in Austin, Texas and directed by Taylor Steele in collaboration with Rapid VR.
Speaking about the performance, the band’s Alex Ebert says: “This performance was a bit of a miracle. We’d never played any of this stuff live and there we were making a big deal of it in front of a packed church – documenting it in virtual reality. Thank goodness we did.
“This song was one of those bursts of song, much of it written in just a minute or two, and is about the time I drove straight thru from LA to New Orleans, rushing to get to my daughter’s birth in time. So much time to reflect on the past and envision the future on that endless road.”
