SINGAPORE — MYRNE, one of the finest electronic artists to emerge from Singapore with over 80 million streams on Spotify to date, in collaboration with the National Arts Council (NAC), invites the public to an exploration of the artist’s latest four-track EP release through an immersive virtual reality experience.
MYRNEscapes is designed to take the audience on a journey of vast, scenic landscapes — heavily inspired by stunning “otherworldly” graphics often seen on world-building video games — to explore themes of contemplation and introspection. Each track from the EP is brought to life with a world of its own featuring images, icons, and themes, carefully curated to encapsulate the raw emotions and origins of each of the four tracks. The journey reels you into a multi-sensory experience unlike any other to evoke a deeper form of expression by revolutionizing the interaction with MYRNE’s brand new music.
“It’s going to be a very interesting audiovisual experience, and I wanted to give people a sense of the place and worlds I imagined when I’m listening to these songs. It’s a great overlap between my love for music and my love for big, open-world games, and I think the team at Metamo really knocked it out of the park,” said MYRNE.
MYNREscapes is now available on the popular digital distribution platform, Steam. Access to explore and interact with the worlds of MYRNEscapes requires a Steam user account which can be created for free here.
MYRNESCAPES: 4 WORLDS
“What Can I Do”
Set amongst red sands, this world is littered with runes and artifacts of a once-powerful society. Undiscovered constellations and celestial bodies move across the sky above you as you explore, illuminating new secrets to discover.
“Circles”
A spelunking adventure within a vast, mystical cave. Unlock and interact with the mysteries of the Circles as you make your way through an ancient cave system.
“Emotion”
Set in a verdant, lush plateau, explore the remnants of a lost tribe as they try to tell you their stories through flickering artifacts. Relax in a stoic experience atop the cliffs; but stay away from the edges.
“Faithless”
A dense, forested jungle is littered with bioluminescent flora, surrounding a mystic river. Cliffs and otherworldly plants keep vantage points well-hidden. Daylight cycles are extremely short, so plan your explorations wisely.
MYRNE’s latest EP marks the beginning of a stellar journey ahead under US dance music label Astralwerks and Universal Music Singapore—a massive addition of another electronic music superstar to its roster since the launch of Astralwerks Asia in 2019. Known for his intersections in pop, house, and high-energy electronica, MYRNE began his journey in 2015 with the release of his ‘Softsins’ EP on dance music behemoth Mad Decent, inaugurating himself as the first Asian artist on their roster. His experiences in isolation growing up in Singapore, coupled with his classical training, has granted him a unique outlook on electronic music — with support from the likes of Porter Robinson, The Chainsmokers, and Martin Garrix as a testament to that fact. Check out his work at the official website.
