🩸 BLOODRAVE I: A Night of Darkness and Decibels
It all started with a few conversations between myself, Shade Balderose and Jami Morgan from Code Orange.
The idea?
A fully immersive, sweat-drenched, neon-drenched, industrial-goth-techno-freakshow of a party.
They called it: BLOODRAVE.
(Unfortunately, no — they wouldn’t let us spray blood all over everyone. Plus, AppleCare doesn’t cover blood-damaged laptops.)
What came together was something between a goth ritual and a warehouse hallucination — built on fog machines, pounding beats, and synced-to-the-bone projections.
💡 Building the Visual World
My role in BLOODRAVE wasn’t about creating stage visuals — it was about helping build a space that felt like it responded to the music. Using MadMapper, custom ISF shaders, and audio-reactive lighting, I designed a system that would move with the energy in the room.
🕯️ BLOODRAVE I & II: Notes in Noise
The first BLOODRAVE took over Spirit Lodge. It was packed, sweaty, and electric in all the right ways. People didn’t just dance — they committed. The crowd turned the space into something ritualistic.
The second one — BLOODRAVE Part II — is moving to Spirit Hall. More bodies, more lights, more weird. Get your tickets now! Friday, April 18, 2025
🧠 Reflection, Not Just Reaction
BLOODRAVE isn’t just an event — it’s a challenge. It asks: How far can you take an atmosphere before it becomes a character itself?
As someone who works at the intersection of tech, performance, and underground culture, it’s rare to get opportunities like this — where the people, the music, and the madness all trust the visuals to shape the tone. You don’t just add to the environment — you become part of its architecture.
