Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Fuzz, where we envisioned the ideas we'll
all be buzzing about in the future.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The Fuzz.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
The future, in.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
The future, in the future, in the future.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
While the things we talk about on this podcast might
seem impossible or even slightly insane, so did holographic performers,
silent discos, and virtual reality festivals. And yet here we
are living in a world where people have seen holographic
tupac live on stage.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
That's right. On today's episode, we're talking about concerts, those
sensory explosions of music, lights, and human energy. But will
an artist with an instrument and a speaker be enough
to enthrall audiences thousands of years from now or even
hundreds of years from now. Let's find out. Let's take
(01:19):
a trip into the future.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Patrick, I think we should let me take you into
a future. But first, you know, we have to step
into the time machine. Are you still going to concerts
(01:41):
with your feet? Time to upgrade, because in twenty forty five,
you don't attend the show. This show attends you. Introducing
Live Live Live or Live Cube, the only concert platform
that performs directly inside your brain. See the lasers behind
(02:03):
your eyelids, feel the drums in your chest, cavity, taste
the music. No seriously, cherry synth wave is trending, whether
it's a rooftop set in New Nairobi or an interdimensional
unplug session with Hologram Cobain. Live Cube beams it all
into your neuroport. No lines, no overpriced parking, no fellow
(02:26):
human is required. But hold onto your hologlasses because when
you subscribe to the Infinity Pass, you'll unlock unlimited immersive
shows across all timelines and timelines, adjacent experiences, BIOSYNCD, VIP upgrades.
That's very intimate perception for you old folk and reality
(02:47):
filters turn any artist into a jellyfish made of light
or a sentient fog machine with fatty issues. But don't
take our word for it. Here's a real customer testimonial.
I caught forty two concerts last week while sleeping. I cried,
I moshed, I astral projected. Thanks Live Cube. Don't just
(03:10):
hear the music, don't just see the show live cubed
because reality was getting boring. So back from the future.
(03:33):
What do you think of that shad What do you
think of live live live or live live live seems
like it could go either way, you know, live cube.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Live cube, Yeah, depending on how we're pronouncing things in
the future.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, I mean technically you're living it's live performance, but
you're living it, you know kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So it could be live or live live.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Live, yeah, or live live live or live live live.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So many permutations. It's pretty interesting. So we're talking about
concerts taking place in your brain essentially.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, you're sensing them as if you're there emotional. You're
seeing them almost like memories. But your live memories seems
pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, you're feeling them like they happened.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Mm hm.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
So there's no longer the limitations of time and space.
Probably still the limitation of cost I assume, but no
longer you know, I have to get to this place
to see this band at this time. You know, maybe
they're only playing in Great Britain.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, I can't get there, but you can go.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I mean you could see them from where you're at.
You could see them, you could feel them, you could
hear them, you could taste them, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
When you say taste them, am I tasting what? Am
I tasting?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
The air?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
The you know, like how you go to a certain
concert and there's like a there's like a I mean
the fog machines, the dry you know, dry ice, or
there's like a musky scent in the stadium.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
There's some familiar smells.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah, tell me more about these sentient fog machine things
are coming to life. I don't know if i'd want
that part.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
It'd be like scary, be a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, I feel like I'm going on a trip. I like,
you know, I just want to be there for the music. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, but that's that's how we view things, right.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, that's true. Somebody else might want I want to
go farther. I want to take this somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
This is again going back to this idea of the tagline,
right because reality was getting boring. Eventually people are going
to get bored with the status quo. You always have
to up the ante.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's like when we talk about movies, you know, movies
filmed in the eighties versus today, way more high octane
cut scenes are quicker, you know what I mean? Like,
eventually people are gonna get bored with just going to
a concert.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
That's true. At first, it'll be super cool, I see
this band I love, Maybe I'll see them ten times
and then after the eleventh time, you're like, all right,
I need something a little different here, just.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
The next level, right, I need the Infinity Pass, you
know what I mean, because I need all that extra stuff, biosync,
VIP upgrades.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I mean, it sounds cool. I'm in on it. I
hope you know it's it's an affordable option for the people.
I hope it's not just for the elites.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, ironically, Live Nation probably sells live live live tickets.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well, it's cool. I would like that. I think I
would enjoy that. I'd probably go to more concerts if
I had the option to experience them in my brain,
for sure. So I guess then you lose the option of,
you know, experiencing them with others. Could you bring others
in your own head? Well, I mean, you know, could
you say in my I want to have this experience
(06:56):
with other people, and that's the experience you have in
your in your mind and your.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I'm sure that's probably possible. I mean, if this is possible,
seems pretty far fetched, right, But if this is possible,
that's gotta be possible.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
But it'd be pretty funny because I'd be like, Patrick,
we went to that concert together, and you'd be like,
we definitely did not.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Or you know, like if those were joint neuro experiences
where you're like, yeah, I want to both kind of
buy it. Yeah, we buy tickets and we're like we
want to sit next to each other and experience that concert.
That's pretty cool, right, Yeah. Yeah, you imagine that a
concert sort of has that communal experience where there's probably
an audience there. You feel the people around you, but
(07:43):
they're not intruding on your space, you know what I mean,
Like you don't have to wait in the lines, you
don't have to do all that part of it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, that's cool. That's a real future to look forward to,
mm hmm in the concert space. But let's go check
out another future if you wouldn't mind stepping with me
into the times The Stillness Sessions twenty one forty nine.
(08:17):
In a world that never quiets, silence has become the
rarest sound. Step into the hush, escape the endless roar
of mechs, traffic tunnels, and broadcast haze. For one night only,
join an elite few in the Oral Vault, a fully
sealed sonic sanctuary where you'll pay for what no.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
One else can afford. Absolute stillness, and in that stillness
the sublime hear the soft creak of an antique chair,
the delicate drop of a needle on vinyl, a whisper
from across the room. The concert is not performed, it's revealed.
(09:02):
Tickets started, eighty seven thousand credits, no refunds, no recordings,
no noise, because sometimes the quietest moments are the loudest
things you'll ever hear. Important attendees must remain completely silent
still throughout the session. Any movement, whispering, or disruption will
(09:23):
result in immediate removal, no exceptions. This is not a performance.
It's a privilege.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
How they're gonna say, any movement will result in immediate decapitation.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yea death. Yeah you should change that.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But that's really interesting. I like the stillness. I like
there are sounds that are happening, but it's not like loud, crazy,
screaming music or any kind of It's not an orchestra, right,
it's just sounds.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, it's just like small, subtle sounds. You know that
you're hearing within the silence, so you're really hearing them.
It seems that as if this future is so loud
all the time that this is really quite the experience.
People are really happy to get this. This is like,
oh man, I can't wait to just go listen to
something quiet really here, really hear something, really hear sound.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah, I think of that. You know that big dome
that they had in x Men where Professor Xavier goes
in with his little helmet thing and he goes, Yeah,
that's how I imagine it, you know, where it's just
like complete silence, the oral vault, the oral vault, so
there's other people in there. Then I guess with.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You, right, yeah, yeah, that's why I have to be
so quiet.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
You put on like little slippers and stuff, and you're,
like I.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Would think you would have to because even you know,
just you're I mean, I think about myself just sitting
in a chair and you know, I'm I shift a
little bit, maybe make you sound with your mouth or
something things like that. So there has to be something
done to kind of quiet those noises.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That would be the hardest part. I can't quite comprehend
how they can keep other people silent, you know, completely silent.
But the thought of that and then being able to
be silent with all those other people There's something sort
of transcendent about that too, you know, because it's not
just you.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, you're sitting there and almost trying not to breathe
mm hmm. Maybe you're in some kind of like bubble
like chair.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah. What would be kind of cool is like in Okay,
imagine the dome outside the dome, you know, there's like
a chair. You sit in the chair, and this little
sliding door opens going into the dome and moves all
of the chairs simultaneously in like this silent way, like
you know, velvet right passing over velvet, and the door
(11:55):
closes behind. So people aren't actually moving the chairs are.
Maybe there's like some enclosure that keeps you, you know,
so when you move through, and it takes you into
the center of this dome, so you're all experiencing it,
but nobody really has to move walk in through that
kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
That's a pretty cool idea, and I would even think
of the idea then. So maybe there's some of these
sounds you're hearing are playing and say the center of
the stage, So maybe throughout this maybe these seats are moving,
you know, around the sound so different. You know, you're
getting to hear it from different angles throughout as you're
(12:35):
kind of like coasting on this velvet, as you say.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, kind of like a spatial audio is. And like
if you listen to headphones and you move your body around,
you can actually hear it in the left ear or
the right ear. Have you ever done that yet? You
tried that?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I haven't done it, but I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, that would be neat to be able to move
around the sound. I like the needle drop, wasn't you said,
like a little needle drop.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
One of the sounds. Yeah, the delicate drop of a
needle onto vinyl. I figured you'd.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Like that one.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, yeah, that was meant for me. I could tell.
I could tell. That's a really interesting concept because it's
it's like the opposite of a true musical concert, but
it has a little bit of that ASMR feel to it.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. But in this
environment where you know you're just not hearing things like that,
maybe it's just always this ambient noise, right mm hm,
So you can never really actually pay attention to an
isolated sound.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah, you'd be surprised. I think even in today's world.
I have been in very remote locations like up in
Upper Ontario where there's like no sound and it's very
eerie at first. When you're there, your ears are almost
ringing for the first day or two because you you
have to get used to the quietness, the stillness. So
(13:59):
I could I could see where that would be something
people would enjoy and also pay dearly for eighty seven
thousand credits I think.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You said, which seems like a lot, something that not
a lot of people can afford. I hope, though, you know,
one of the sounds is not or the yeah yeah,
fingers on Mike. I hope we're doing better than that
at this point.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Mm hmmm. Well, I mean, I think those are.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Two very different futures. I don't know if we're in
the same dimension there or what's you know, what's happening.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's true, and technology is you.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Know, on an accelerated timeline.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
All right, we hope you enjoyed this trip to the future.
But that's all for this episode of The Fuzz. Tune
in next time for more of Tomorrow's Buzz Today Today.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
The sending still exist, nose, oh, this is about the future.
