On Episode 68 of The Big Note we delve into the phenomenon and history of audio-visual performances, immersive, multi-sensory experiences associated with musical and artistic performances. From Cave Art to the "Colour Organ" of the 1800's to modern day Virtual Reality and Holograms (well I don't actually talk about Holograms, but I could in future episodes) visual spectacle accompanying musical performances is well established now, but where and how did it start?
