UK National Space Centre – DSOTM Planetarium Show
For fans in the UK, the UK National Space Centre in Leicester is hosting two fulldome planetarium showings of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon on January 20th, 2024. This is an immersive experience set to the latest audio remastering by James Guthrie and Joel Plante of das boot recording. Fulldome film production is by the multi award winning NSC Creative, who worked with Aubrey Powell, Pink Floyd’s creative director. Video below of how the visuals will look in a 360° setting.
The show itself will be divided between the 10 tracks of the album, and in chronological order, each having a different theme; some futuristically looking forward and some a retro acknowledgment to Pink Floyd’s visual history, all relating to a time and space experience, embracing up to the minute technology that only a Planetarium can offer. In the modern parlance it’s truly immersive; an all-encompassing surround sound and visual treat that will transcend reality and take you way beyond the realms of 2D experience.
