Rob Sheridan Productions proudly unveils its latest project: the tour visuals for Pearl Jam's Dark Matter World Tour 2024.

​

Under the guidance of Director, Rob Sheridan himself, this endeavor marks a return to live concert design after a hiatus spent exploring personal and experimental avenues.

​

Rob's collaboration with Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam was serendipitous. Despite having stepped away from large-scale tour productions since Nine Inch Nails in 2014, his connection with Ed reignited his passion for immersive visual storytelling in the live music scene.

​

Inspired by the gravitational pull of Pearl Jam's Dark Matter themed album, Rob embarked on an odyssey through the nebulous realms of abstraction and analog expression, aimed to crystallize the album's profound emotional resonance into tangible, visceral encounters for concert attendees.

 

Equipped with state-of-the-art technology like the 1000fps Ember camera from local innovator Freefly, Rob and his dedicated crew embarked on a filming journey. From plumbing the depths of elemental forces to capturing the ethereal dance of light refractions, every frame bore witness to wellspring of creativity fueling the Dark Matter World Tour.

 

Pearl Jam’s Dark Matter 2024 Tour visuals eschew technical complexity for a more organic, intimate approach. With a single projection screen serving as the canvas, Rob ensured that the visuals complemented the band's live energy without overshadowing their signature improvisations and audience interactions.

​

From ethereal cosmic landscapes to intimate acoustic moments, Rob's visuals seamlessly adapt to the band's dynamic repertoire, enriching each show with a kaleidoscope of emotions and narratives.

 

Stay tuned for more updates and insights as the tour continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Rob Sheridan Productions is proud to be a part of this extraordinary collaboration, and we can't wait to share more with you soon.
