Acantha Lang: 'Lois Lang' (VR180 Mix) 2nd

Heading to VR headsets, mobile, tablet, and set-top TVs in 2026 is a new multi-format live music series: Up Close and... ®

Created by the team behind SoulandJazz LIVE, performances, initially in Jazz, Classical, and Soul featuring original compositions, will be captured simultaneously in both Virtual Reality (VR180) and 4K.

Delivery of content will be aggregated across multiple channels as well as the UpClose.TV website with audio delivered in stereo and various spatial audio formats.

Testing the waters with us recently was Acantha Lang who performed four tracks for the first Up Close and... Soul.
