Matariki – Ngā Whetū o te Tau Hou

About This Project

Project Overview: Immerse yourself in the celestial wonders of Matariki – Ngā Whetū o te Tau Hou, a captivating planetarium show now captivating audiences at Stardome Observatory. Audio production plays a large role in crafting a truly immersive and educational experience.

Project Details: Audio Production Excellence: Our team was entrusted with the creation of the show’s audio. The  narration was recorded in our  vocal booth, ensuring every word resonates with clarity and depth. The audio production process played a pivotal role in bringing the celestial narrative to life, enhancing the overall sensory journey.

Original Score Creation: We composed and produced the original score, infusing it with a perfect blend of ethereal and earthly elements. Despite the tight deadline of just 5 weeks before the show’s release, we harnessed our full resources and creative prowess to deliver a score that elevates the audience’s experience. The process combined MIDI instruments and electronic production with live acoustic and electric guitars, as well as percussion, resulting in a powerful sonic tapestry.

Crafting music for planetarium shows is always a delightful challenge, and Matariki was no exception. We love balancing spacy and ethereal tones with grounded and real-world moods, creating a compelling juxtaposition that engages the senses.

Project Outcome: Matariki – Ngā Whetū o te Tau Hou is an engaging and educational planetarium show that brings the cosmos to life.
