For the song Over Now, the team created a deeply textured lightscape, driven by practical cinematography and analog glitch techniques, to bring the stage to life. Pulses of light and shifting textures were perfectly synchronized to the music, making the visuals an integral part of the performance. The carefully choreographed interplay of these elements amplified the energy of the song, creating an immersive, multi-sensory experience for the audience.

Central to this visual storytelling was the team’s groundbreaking use of lasers, which were meticulously crafted into intricate patterns that followed the tempo and rhythm of the track. By shooting lasers through an aquatic aquarium, they transformed beams of light into dynamic volumetric graphic designs. Using slow shutter techniques, they froze these patterns in time, revealing stunningly intricate details and textures. These designs didn’t just accompany the music—they embodied its energy, capturing its uptempo cadence. The team further enhanced this effect by manipulating scan rates, adding layers of animation that unfolded with nuance, echoing the song's fast-paced rhythms and giving the visuals an organic, almost living quality.

Every laser pulse, texture, and movement was sequenced with precision, creating a symphony of light that danced in harmony with the track’s high-energy beats. By combining analog techniques with innovative manipulation of light, the team delivered visuals that were not only technically impressive but emotionally resonant—elevating Over Now into a moment of pure, electrifying artistry that left the audience mesmerized.

For the song Wildflower, the team utilized practical cinematography to produce striking visuals grounded in physical processes. Real flowers were selected as the focal point, with carefully designed light patterns projected directly onto their surfaces. The interplay of light and the natural textures of the petals created intricate, dynamic visuals, which were captured entirely in-camera. This approach emphasized a tangible, unfiltered aesthetic, where the natural details of the flowers enhanced the complexity of the projected patterns.

The projections were meticulously crafted to integrate seamlessly with the song’s pacing, with light and shadow evolving in rhythm with the music. Using specific angles and controlled lighting setups, the team created depth and movement within the projections, allowing the flowers to appear almost animated. The use of practical techniques ensured that the visuals maintained a grounded, organic quality while achieving the level of precision necessary for live performance integration.

By relying on in-camera techniques rather than post-production manipulation, the team achieved visuals that felt immediate and authentic. This technical approach allowed for a natural interaction between the projected light and the flowers' surfaces, resulting in a detailed and layered look that aligned perfectly with the song's visual tone. The combination of physical objects and light manipulation showcased the strength of practical cinematography in crafting engaging, live visuals.

For the song Chihiro, GMUNK and team started with a lo-fi 3D aesthetic, the team intentionally stripping things back—eschewing polish for something more fragile and surreal. The renders were pushed through a chain of analog glitch modules, allowing texture, signal degradation, and controlled chaos to shape the final look. The result was a living, breathing visual that felt more like a hallucinated memory than a piece of digital content.

This analog-forward approach didn’t just add character—it synced effortlessly with Billie’s own lo-fi sensibility, creating a kind of visual feedback loop between the stage, the screen, and the music itself. It echoed the dreamlike, disoriented atmosphere of the Chihiro music video while carving out a space that felt entirely its own. What emerged was less a backdrop and more a sensory extension of the song—moody, imperfect, and deeply human.

For the concept ‘Portraits’ the team developed a series of synthetic portrait-based visuals that explored identity, memory, and emotional fragmentation. Using MidJourney as a generative starting point, the team crafted surreal, hyper-expressive portraits of Billie—each one a stylized echo of her presence rather than a literal likeness. These AI-generated forms acted as emotional vessels, deliberately detached from realism to create space for abstraction and interpretation.

Once generated, the portraits were pushed through a dense pipeline of analog glitch processes—circuit-bent hardware, feedback loops, signal distortion—imbuing the images with grit, vulnerability, and emotional weight. Textures layered like sediment: soft projection light, shifting pixel noise, and digital decay bleeding together to form something both beautiful and broken. The analog treatment allowed the work to breathe, introducing unpredictability and tactility that echoed the intimacy of Billie’s sound.

What emerged was a suite of visual poetry—portraits that flickered, degraded, and reassembled themselves in rhythm with the performance. The result felt less like screen content and more like living, reactive art: an emotional mirror for the audience, reflecting Billie’s voice through layered glitch, ephemeral textures, and the digital ghost of her image. It was a study in presence and absence, clarity and distortion—deeply human, entirely synthetic.

For the concept ‘Liquid Bloom’ the team designed a series of still-life compositions featuring rose bouquets submerged in water, captured in a state of delicate suspension. The visual language was intentionally restrained, built around a minimal color palette of deep blacks and whites, punctuated by subtle red accents. This stark contrast allowed the organic forms to speak for themselves—highlighting the intricate textures, soft refractions, and graceful decay of the flowers beneath the surface.

Each bouquet appeared caught in a moment of transformation—somewhere between blooming and dissolving—creating a haunting sense of movement within stillness. The water added an ethereal quality, refracting light and form in a way that softened the edges while amplifying the depth and dimension of each composition. The result was a series of images that felt both intimate and monumental: fragile, sculptural, and quietly surreal.

For the concept ‘Shattered Not Broken’ the team explored themes of fragility, resilience, and emotional fragmentation through a series of porcelain sculptures modeled after Billie Eilish’s face. These digital statues were rendered with high fidelity in MidJourney, with a focus on sculptural detail, surface texture, and emotional weight. Each face was cracked, splintered, or shattered in unique ways—symbolizing the beauty in brokenness and the complexity of emotional endurance.

To move beyond the purely digital, the team passed the renders through their signature analog glitch pipeline, introducing tactile imperfections and nuanced distortion. This process layered the hyper-detailed sculptures with a sense of organic unpredictability—creating a visual tension between the pristine and the fractured, the artificial and the human. The analog treatment brought a physicality to the imagery, grounding the digital work in something that felt real, raw, and emotionally charged.

The result was a haunting visual narrative that transcended static portraits. These broken statues didn’t just reflect damage—they embodied transformation, survival, and a quiet kind of strength. Shattered Not Broken became a meditation on emotional architecture, using glitch and fracture as expressive tools to amplify the vulnerability at the heart of the performance.

For the concept ‘Infinite Bloom’ the team conceived a meditative journey through an endless tunnel of flowers and refractive glass—a modern reinterpretation of the infinity room, reimagined with organic growth as the central theme. The visual experience unfolded as a continuous forward motion through this blooming corridor, where petals unfurled in slow, surreal rhythm and light refracted endlessly across mirrored surfaces. The sense of depth and repetition evoked the infinite nature of growth, both in the natural world and within the human psyche.

The concept was designed to resonate emotionally with Billie Eilish’s music—mirroring the layered introspection and vulnerability found throughout her tracks. As the viewer traveled deeper into the tunnel, the flowers bloomed in sync with the emotional arc of the performance, becoming symbolic of transformation, healing, and becoming. The interplay of delicate organic forms with glass and light created a space that felt simultaneously ethereal and grounded, infinite and intimate—a visual metaphor for emotional evolution unfolding in real time.
