Horizons VR is a series of interactive musical journeys for Daydream, Google’s platform for high-quality VR.

Every scene in the app is a completely unique audiovisual experience, each exploring different ways of interacting with the music and visuals in levels of detail that can only be achieved through virtual reality.

The app features three scenes, Outlier featuring music from Bonobo‘s album Migration, Reach featuring the music of Reuben Cainer, and Empyrean featuring music from My Panda Shall Fly. Outlier sees you flying through surreal landscapes and terrains, over mountains and deep into oceans, as you manipulate the music by directing flocks of birds with the Daydream controller and progressing through the various stages of the track via your own movements and actions. Reach has you tilting and touching the Daydream controller to add sonic and visual effects, and constantly building tension in the music to progress the track to the next section, whereas Empyrean is more relaxing and explorative, guiding you to slowly illuminate a psychedelic forest with musical phrases.

More scenes will be added to this platform as time goes on. If you’re interested in creating a VR music experience of this kind, do get in touch…

The app is currently available for Daydream on the Play Store.
