2024 Sorry Youth Noise Apartment

Sorry Youth Debuts at Taipei Music Center: “From Inside Out” – A Music Party Redefining Concert Boundaries

Staying true to their roots, Sorry Youth brought the essence of their pre-debut shared apartment, the birthplace of their music—“Noise Apartment”—onto the stage at Taipei Music Center. Transforming the stage into a massive rock party in their “living room,” the band broke traditional concert norms by removing the back and side stage curtains, exposing the venue’s original structure to recreate the spirit of Noise Apartment.

The lighting design centered around this concept, crafting an immersive musical space through light, color, and dynamic effects. The setup featured upper and lower lighting structures, each with three tiers, allowing for movement and variation. With six adjustable sections spanning left to right, these mobile lighting elements, combined with LED screens, created a visually rich experience.

White light played a key role in conveying the concert’s emotional depth. Silhouettes and backlighting simulated the tranquil atmosphere of a nighttime apartment, while large ice screens projected street imagery, transporting the audience back to the band’s origins. Interwoven light and shadow symbolized the passage of time, with high-speed scanning lights and flashing LED strips reinforcing the rhythm of the music. During softer sections, low-angle beams moved slowly, transitioning between warm and cool tones to create a serene yet fluid ambiance.

The dynamic interplay of beams mirrored the ups and downs of the band’s journey, immersing the audience in an emotional whirlpool. The lighting not only enhanced the music’s transitions but also reflected the band’s evolution, fully embodying the spirit of “Noise Apartment” through the flow of light.
