Leo in concert with soprano and Harmonic OM
From Now OM is an immersive concert series by Leo Dale that includes slow-motion films. It has a touring party of ONE. In addition, Leo regularly collaborates with musicians in the cities he tours to, creating a scalable event that can be as short as 45 minutes, and has been as long as 5 hours with multiple collaborators in a Festival setting. The format is very flexible.
Leo sets up a 6 note harmonic chord as a canvas for the concert. The slow-motion films continue for the entire performance, while each of the musicians explore the heart of melody - individually and then together as an ensemble.
This concert series started in 2014 and has been performed throughout Australia, in India and New York. While Leo travels, he also films the everyday in gorgeous slow motion. Films from Melbourne, Sydney, Mumbai, New York and the Central Tasmanian Highlands are projected during the performance.
