Celestial Garden is an audio-reactive lighting experience built around a composition I produced. In this project, I explored different aspects of lighting control, such as brightness, color, pan, tilt, and zoom.

​

The goal was to create a moody, ambient atmosphere using a 9x9 light grid inside an Unreal Engine Previz environment. I mapped instrument levels to control brightness, used MIDI notes to trigger lighting patterns, and tied bass progressions to changes in tilt and positioning.

​

One of the biggest takeaways from this project was getting deeper into lighting design. Visualizing and programming patterns was definitely a challenge, yet it pushed me into a new creative process that felt different from what I’m used to, and it took some experimenting to get there.
