A VIRTUAL REALITY: SONY’S “LOST IN MUSIC” LAUNCH
PAT R I C K M C M U LL A N
MUSIC FESTIVALS ARE popular these days. Real popular. But
they usually don’t begin until April. What a drag. So Sony figured, why wait until the weather is warmer to experience the trance-y, trippy, take-your-clothes-off madness that is festival season? Let’s throw a party now, only let’s try it with virtual reality. And they did. Inside a Los Angeles studio. We spotted
Victoria Justice immersed in the new PlayStation VR, where this reality had viewers lost in wild artistic scenes as they listened to music provided by The Chainsmokers (Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart), Vanic and the Lost Kings (Robert Abisi and Nick Shanholtz). Just a note: the DJs were actually there. And hey, if you can’t wait until Ultra, at least there’s PlayStation. u MARCH 2017 151
