In a dimly lit corner of a New York City hotel room, Carl Cox leaned forward, gesturing towards an image on a nearby screen. "You know that's not actually me, right?" he asked with a sly grin. "That's my avatar."

The image in question was a lifelike representation of the techno legend, meticulously crafted by the innovative minds at Sensorium Galaxy. This virtual doppelgänger was set to take center stage in "Intermundium," a groundbreaking VR show that marks the highly anticipated debut of Sensorium Galaxy's PRISM metaverse. Scheduled to premiere on October 27th at 3pm ET, this event promises to be a game-changer in the world of virtual entertainment.

"Intermundium" offers a tantalizing glimpse into the future of virtual concerts, and even Carl Cox himself hadn't seen the final product until recently. As the techno beats pulsed through the virtual concert space, the visuals surrounding his photorealistic avatar came to life, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that left even the seasoned DJ in awe.

Sasha Tityanko, Deputy CEO and Art Director at Sensorium, described Cox's performance as a "bold first step" in the company's ambitious roadmap. This journey began with the goal of democratizing VR music experiences for everyday consumers, a vision that has now become a reality.

Cox is part of a star-studded lineup known as "The Chosen Ones," a collective of electronic music luminaries that includes Eric Prydz, David Guetta, Black Coffee, and Charlotte de Witte. These artists are gearing up to headline immersive raves inside the PRISM metaverse, customizing their shows to infuse their own creative ideas into this new medium. As Tityanko stated, they see VR as an opportunity to break free from the constraints of physical borders, allowing fans to experience their art in novel ways.

The world premiere of "Intermundium" is set to be a treat for fans, and access won't cost a dime. The show will be accessible across various platforms, including Steam for those seeking the full VR experience. For those without VR equipment, 2D streaming options will be available on Sensorium Galaxy's website, YouTube channel, and mobile apps.

However, for those seeking an unparalleled viewing experience, the 360° VR version of "Intermundium" will be exclusively available on the PICO Store for a month. Furthermore, the show will be broadcast live on Sensorium Galaxy's TikTok channel during the premiere, allowing an even wider audience to join in on the immersive spectacle.

Vladimir Kedrinsky, the CEO of Sensorium, emphasized the inclusivity of their approach: "We view both 2D streams and the innovative VR-360 format as gateways into our universe, ensuring everyone has a way in. By making the show freely accessible, we've also eliminated another boundary, aspiring to bring this collaboration between Sensorium and Carl Cox to anyone and everyone passionate about innovative entertainment, music, and the wonders offered by cutting-edge tech."

As the boundaries between reality and virtual worlds continue to blur, "Intermundium" and the Sensorium Galaxy metaverse are poised to lead the charge into a new era of entertainment. Prepare to be transported into a realm where music, technology, and creativity converge in a dazzling display of what's possible in the metaverse.
