In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats is a euphoric interactive virtual reality adventure and embodied VR installation taking audiences back to the heyday of the UK's illegal Acid House scene of the late 1980's.


Grab your friends and go in search of an illegal rave set over one night in Coventry, UK in 1989. This virtual reality experience brings to life the stories of promoters, police officers, and rave-goers, whose rivalries and relationships drove a working-class revolution in music and society.


From poster-strewn bedrooms and pirate radio stations to a police headquarters and empty warehouse events, you’ll step into the shoes of rave culture pioneers as you witness this social phenomenon first-hand. Feel the anticipation, trepidation, excitement, and euphoria that was Acid House through an explorable room scale virtual world and multi-sensory simulation.


The VR experience utilizes archive, 3D modeling, volumetric capture, interaction, 360 video, animation and a pumping soundtrack of legendary and contemporary electronic music pioneers. Using contributors and collaborators from the UK's rave past, this piece of immersive art uses creative non-fiction to re-examine what this moment means through the intersection of documentary, interaction, and embodied music experience.
