YAO - Unraveled (Official 360° Music Video)

Unraveled is an immersive 360 audio and visual experience where the listener finds themselves at the center of all elements, being surrounded by choir, strings, synths, and imagery. Where you turn your head, sound from that direction will be emphasized and filtered. For the full immersive experience, please wear headphones.

Yao is a composer, sound designer, and artist who developed a passion for music at a very young age. She recently graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Music Degree in Electronic Production & Design and Film Scoring. Yao has made it her mission to pursue a career combining her love for music, sound, and technology. Her company ICTUS provides spatial audio solutions to immersive experiences including VR, AR, and MR by blending musical composition and sound design together to create a soundscape that completes the visual reality.

The central idea of this piece is repressed and unleashed emotions. All the elements of the composition are tailored to this theme. The lead singer sings a tempo and represents the restrained/logical self. The choir sings rubato and represents the underlying emotions and desires. As the song progresses, the exchange between the two eventually merge towards one, forming a complete and free identity.

Lyrics:

Mute my mind and its howling 
I watched as the beast broke down 
Down on the silent ground 
Felt burning bruises growing numb 
Never minding, I'm dissembling 

Till you unravelled me 
Setting my demons free 
Into the blue 
Running no more 
Sunsets of yore 
All around me, all brings me close to you 

Low and unseen 
Now I come clean 
Rising to you 
Up with the sun 
Fences undone 
All around me, I hear the life of you
