As the curtain falls on their magnum opus tour, peering into the looking glass of ODESZA you have never been more enticing. Ever the aesthetes, they’re now preparing to shatter it by inviting their fans into a utopia of their own creation.
ODESZA’s Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight have announced “ECHOES,” a first-of-its-kind art installation coming to their concerts at the Gorge Amphitheater from July 4-6. The momentous shows will wrap up the “Finale” run of the duo’s most recent tour, “The Last Goodbye,” which many hold in high regard as the best live show of their career.
They revealed “ECHOES” by virtue of the first episode of a four-pronged video series developed by UPROXX Studios. The ambitious installation is facilitated by the processing power of a snapdragon-powered PC from Qualcomm, with whom Mills and Knight are collaborating to bring it to life alongside SETUP.
“Building the ‘Finale’ set, we’re doing things we haven’t done before,” Mills said.
The installation is the result of a whirlwind two-month design sprint. Mills and Knight are manifesting a universe where the digital and the sublime converge within the hallowed grounds of the Gorge, which sits roughly three hours south of Western Washington University, where they first met back in 2009.
Fans will agree ODESZA’s music is best experienced in the cradle of nature’s grandeur. And there exists no venue more fitting for “ECHOES” than the idyllic Gorge, which is prevalently recognized among the nation’s most scenic concert venues.
“We want [fans] to step into a new world,” Knight added. “This installation we’re trying to build is going to be something very, very cool.”
