PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
In 2021 our team (Pavel Pavlyukov as an artistic director, Dmitry Vorobev as lead developer, Georgy Molodtsov as XR director and line producer) was invited to collaborate with Jean-Michel Jarre and VRROOM on OXYMORE Immersive musical experience, associated with the release of his new album, for which Pavel also designed visual style and cover.
Pavel was selected based on the visual concept of FRUSTRAIN, which fully fit the idea that Jean-Michel Jarre had in mind for his project.
We created a virtual metropolis, consisting of stylized vintage musical equipment, where Jean-Michel Jarre's live performances took place.
OXYMORE received various international awards and is listed as one recommended world in VRChat with over 350.000 visitors to date.
