This month, Soundcraft: Minecraft in C brings its U.S. premiere to Atlanta, inviting audiences to experience a concert where music, digital worlds and imagination come together.
Working with Minecraft YouTuber JazziiRed, young performers bring a digital Music Box to life alongside professional musicians from the Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra. Their role goes beyond watching or playing a game: they help shape the performance itself.
On November 14, the project moves from Minecraft to the stage at LOOP, a newly opened cultural venue in Georgia Tech’s Creative Quarter, bringing together art, technology, performance and experimentation under one roof. Audiences will encounter a shared creative world, built through collaboration across generations and disciplines.
Created by NON-SENSE Arts Foundation, Soundcraft combines Minecraft with Terry Riley’s landmark composition In C, bringing live music, digital building, visual storytelling and technology into one shared performance.
The project was first developed in Seoul in 2023 with TOTAL Museum of Contemporary Art, Arts Council Korea (ARKO) and the Seoul Metropolitan Government, bringing musicians and digital creators together to explore a new kind of concert experience.
Now, the Atlanta edition brings that idea to a new community with partners including the Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra, LOOP, Metropolitan Youth Symphony Orchestras of Atlanta (MYSO), Fulton County Arts & Culture/Public Art Futures Lab and Mimms Museum of Technology and Art.
At the heart of the project is a simple question: what if a digital world could become part of the music itself? As musicians perform, the Minecraft environment responds, allowing sound and image to develop together. For families, music lovers and gamers alike, it offers a new way into the concert experience.
From Seoul to Atlanta, Soundcraft creates a meeting place for different generations and ways of making. See what happens when young imaginations and a live orchestra share the stage.
