WAVES PROJECT : TAME IMPALA

TAME IMAPALA

WAVES PROJECT

We’re aimed to design the pop-up stage as a device directly to the chosen artist , 

in order to create a new experience and respond to the identity of the style. 

The chosen artist is Tame Impala leaded by Kevin Parker, the indy  Australian band. They are well-known in the style of popular psychedelic rock which influenced by a variety of genre such as pop, rock, traditional psychedelic, and such. Originally, this genre was created in India and to support the experience in drug using, but Tame Impala re-arrange the music to easier listening and meaningful. The main factor of Tame Impala as you see in the video is the relationship between sound and visual. The audience will disconnect to the reality wherever they play and experience in another world implicitly by these effect.

So the main concept of generate the device tour is to support the effect of relationship between hearing and visual.  From the graphic of latest album’s cover, I interpreted that the current is a reality or the visual in reality, when the song come distract the current, the reality become distorted and change to another story.

The storyboard portrays the initial idea about people will be get lost in the device and distorted the reality in to the world by device-made. 

There are 3 main space in the project, the exterior, transition, and interior part.

They will see the giant scale of monolith in a sense of simplicity, still, geometric, and formidable. The still facade will be gradually move by the current of the wind to make people feel the contrast the feeling of dynamic in geometric-shape facade. The performance will be exposed in 2 levels, one is the stage that expose to outside and get people know there is concert in the device-tour and the PA system dancing. The second is the performance that expose to inside.

Once the audience get inside, there is a transition between the space which is the middle of exterior and interior skin. People can access to the concert hall directly on first floor, or go up-stair and observe the concert in other floors. There are some technical access that will be presented in section drawing in the next phase.

The model portrays the space inside intentionally. Also the material in each element in the space both outside and inside.

SPATIAL DEVIATIONS

The project aims to offer the proposal of the pop-up stage specifically to the chosen band in which in this case is TAME IMPALA.

 

TAME IMPALA is leaded by Kevin Parker and count as his project rather than the band. He begins with recording his own playing
over again and again as his experiment. He have many influencers such as the beach boys, supertramps, Hank b. Marvin, the beatles, and such.
Accordingly, his song start with heavy psychedelic rock which is a genre that originated in drug users in Indian culture and gradually
adapt to more popular psychedelic. Not only the song represent his style, but also the unique graphical artwork on his albums.

 

Casa da Musica is a great example for research architecture in type of concert hall. The dynamic spaces and volumes are merged each other with the main auditorium. It's a good case-study to re-define a sense of connectivity in both of spatial and acoustic essence. Furthermore, the research is conducted to modify responding to the chosen band.
 Hence, the detail of researches can be depicted through the series of analysis on artists’ background, setlist and a song

The detail of researches can be depicted through the series of analysis on artists’ background, setlist and a song. The setlist portray the mood through the color and the intensity of the color chart. Additionally, the setlist is divided into 5 phases; disconnectivity, virus, irony, optimistic, and dreaming. 

 The storyboard portrays the sequence of accessing to the concert and the whole sequence in the performance. The storyboard depict through a series of abstract graphic to represent the mood and choreography of the stages.  

 The collage illustrate the stage before performance starting and during the performance.

SPATIAL FREQUENCES

The project in this phase aims to research the selected artist and chosen architecture for illustrating an overall ideas and approaches.

Tame Impala is an Australian band which focus on the music in psychedelic rock style. The band is leaded by Kevin Parker who have had a talent in music since he was young. In order to get deep in them, we have to understand their background, taste, emotion, and style. Hence, the detail of researches can be depicted through the series of analysis on artists’ background, setlist and a song.
