As part of their ongoing relationship with the Creators Project, UVA have redesigned the main stage for Coachella 2011.

Creating both a platform for performance and a standalone light and sound sculpture, Orchestrion is a collaboration with composer Mira Calix. Featuring sliding doors, the 64m3 cubic structure opens for bands to perform in it, and closes as part of its own performance taking place at set times during the three day festival.

The design of Orchestrion evolved into a new work for Nuits Sonores in France. A gateway to the festival, Conductor draws visitors into its environment like a magnetic force field, as if it were collecting energy from passersby to generate power for the event itself.

Light forms resembling current running through electrical components or power plants will be accompanied by an original score by British composer Scanner.
