Martin Garrix: headlining set at Ultra Music Festival
In a three and a half minute video, the viewer gets to meet some of the deaf individuals as they tell their stories and the meaning of music and dancing to them. It then takes you inside the intimate venue that Garrix played for his audience.
The venue was specially outfitted with extra subwoofers and spots that emit the vibrations of each song. Each attendee is given a backpack that is specially outfitted to emit the vibrations from the songs Garrix selects as well. There are added visuals which help tie the auditory and visual experience together.
"Motion, vibration, visual-wise... I got in this room and stepped on one of those vibrating platforms and played a note and I got scared. They gave me a backpack which vibrates the music, makes the vibrations stronger," Garrix said of specially built venue for the unique performance. "For me, I've been thinking about which songs I should play, which songs I love that have the lower frequency, which songs have drive in it."
The attendees explain just how important music and dancing is to them, despite not having the ability to hear.
"This is one of the best shows I ever did," remarks Garrix after the concert.
