Join us for a special live performance as Slowly Rolling Camera celebrates 10 years since their debut album. With the release of their sixth studio album, ‘Silver Shadow,’ this summer, the performance promises to captivate with its blend of magnetic melodies and cinematic visuals.

Led by the core trio—Dave Stapleton, Deri Roberts, and Elliot Bennett—the band will be joined by Jon Goode on bass, Nicolas Kummert on sax, and Stuart McCallum on guitar. Known for their genre-defying sound, Slowly Rolling Camera has drawn comparisons to The Cinematic Orchestra and GoGo Penguin, earning acclaim from The Guardian and Crack Magazine.

Accompanied by a visual score from the award-winning 4Pi Productions, this XR performance explores the possibilities of storytelling through the interplay of music and immersive visuals. Don’t miss this unique experience.

It was a real pleasure to host members from the Assemblée nationale du Québec at CULTVR before they continued their visit to the Senedd. We had the opportunity to discuss our current collaboration with Société des arts technologiques [SAT] with the President of the National Assembly, Nathalie Roy, as well as deputies Lucie Lecours, Claude Reid, MBA, and Elisabeth Prass, political and public affairs colleagues Martin Dionne and Marie-Pierre Olivier and the Director of Cultural Affairs Ingried Boussaroque.

It was truly inspiring to hear more how the Quebec Government supports arts and culture and discuss the benefits to the creative industries and the economic impact across sectors.

CULTVR Lab provides a unique space in Cardiff where immersive technologies are developed alongside live performance, exploring new opportunities for storytelling and interactive presentations. Conceived by 4Pi, the Lab creates an environment for producers, technologists, film and theatre makers, artists, academics and performers to come together in the pursuit of this unique medium’s capabilities.
