Coldplay

Overview for Coldplay:

FRAY Studio contributed to Coldplay 's 2022 stadium world tour, Music of the Spheres, using the studio's real-time and design toolkit to deliver key parts of the show's video design. The scale of the tour demanded concert visuals that could hold up across vast stadium environments while staying aligned with the musical, narrative and environmental themes of the production. FRAY created all iMag looks and real-time visual effects for the show in Notch . These treatments extend the energy of the performance, giving the live camera feed a distinct visual identity that shifts with the tempo and mood of each song. The real-time approach let the visuals respond immediately to changes on stage, so the camera imagery feels woven into the performance rather than layered on top of it. The tour's environmental message shaped the pre-show experience. FRAY produced an interactive Notch-based game that displayed live data from the kinetic dance floors placed throughout the stadium. Audience members generated energy by dancing, and the game visualised it in real time, creating a sense of collective participation in powering the show — connecting the audience directly to one of the tour's core themes. For the closing number, Biutyful, FRAY created visuals in Unreal Engine that brought the alien world of Flora to life, expanding the scale of the finale and shifting the performance into a more dreamlike, otherworldly space. The result is a series of visual systems that support the ambition of the tour — now seen by over 13 million people worldwide — combining real-time tools and large-scale design to help shape Coldplay's expansive live world.
