The power of the imagination is arguably the greatest during youth. And Oslo-based collective DNA? AND? brings this notion into play in the most remarkable fashion. Comprised of professional musicians and youngsters with Down syndrome, DNA? AND?’s infectious exchange between carefree improvisation and stark repetition elicits some of the most original music ever produced—impulsive, unfiltered, and free.

The project ‘Improv Music Collective DNA? AND?‘ will let users immerse in a 3 song live performance / VR music album of the collective that doesn’t often travel due to their special needs. We want to create an immersive music VR experience, using cutting-edge VR recording techniques. We want their exceptional, improvisational performances to tour the world. 

Who are they as a band? How do they work together? What do they find important as a group. what does music and playing together, improvising… mean to them, What makes them unique? And what about their connection with their audiences?

In addition, it’s interesting to hear or show their individual stories. What are their dreams, passions and ambitions? How do they feel when they play music together? What are their dreams for the future?

The goal is not only to spread the music of this band to the world, but also to share their unique way of creating music.
