Beck and David Campbell are reimagining the composition of David Bowie’s classic tune, “Sound and Vision.” The performance itself is far from traditional, with more than 150 musicians coming together to play a set list from a series of rotating platforms. Watch them prepare to create a literal experience of surround sound for a private audience on February 5, and for the online world on February 10.

To experience the performance coming together, visit www.hello-again.com.

David Bowie and Beck combined? Be still my beating heart. The only thing that would guarantee its perfection is if Bowie himself made a guest appearance. 

Tad confused about when the performance will actually become available. Video description says the 10th but the website has a countdown leading to this afternoon…
