Daithi

Soundome – a revolutionary geodesic dome live experience, combining immersive 360° surround sound (46 speakers + underfloor subs) with intimate, shoulder-to-shoulder audience setup for total sonic envelopment. The dome was assembled for the gig and dismantled afterward, making it a one-off, pop-up immersive event.

Description:
I shot and edited this live performance capture of Daithí playing inside the Soundome in Castlecomer—a truly unique, mind-blowing setup that turned the gig into an all-encompassing sonic and visual journey.

Daithí's improvised set (synths, drum machines, live fiddle, and electronic grooves soaked in Irish culture) was perfectly suited to the dome's surround technology, creating an intimate yet expansive dance experience where the audience stood/danced right alongside the artist, fully immersed in the sound.

My filming captured the energy of the performance: dynamic angles inside the geodesic structure, close-ups on Daithí's multi-instrumental setup (fiddle + electronics), crowd reactions, and the dome's architectural glow. In post-production, I edited it into a cohesive piece that preserves the event's magic—highlighting the innovative audio immersion, rhythmic builds, and Daithí's signature blend of trad Irish elements with modern house/dance—while conveying the one-night-only excitement.
