The result is a spectacular unity of music and visuals generated by the audience in a music set lasting more than one hour. Every movement directly corresponds to the rhythm and visuals. Each action follows a musical and expressive reaction. The music is produced by Patrice Bäumel, Nuno dos Santos and Jarno. The visuals are made by KEBOW. Raymond Deirkauf has already launched a first version of an interactive laser instrument consisting of 25 lasers build on 1 track in 2005. This installation was groundbreaking at the time. His fascination for light and technique made him redevelope rAys with an amazing result.
