About the artwork
"At Night, We All Disappear" represents an evolution in Panaviscope's style, focusing on atmosphere with an ethereal underlying narrative. The piece explores the concept of evoking a story rather than directly telling one. Architecture, a central theme in retro-anime, takes center stage as the city itself becomes the main character. The music underscores the tension of a city on the brink of something significant, enhancing the immersive experience.

Audio explanation
Listen to Panaviscope discuss this work.
Panaviscope (a.k.a Alex Duloz) is a visual artist and multi-instrumentalist from Geneva, Switzerland, who composes, sings, and plays all the instruments you can hear on his tracks. Panaviscope is as much a visual project as it is a musical one, with a focus on evoking nostalgia for a fantasized era.
Alex studied arts in Los Angeles, where he trained in 3D, classical animation, and drawing. It was there that he learned coding, with a strong focus on generative code using JavaScript. His tracks have been played on national indie radios in France and Switzerland, among other countries.
Alex employs various cutting-edge techniques with the intention of creating timeless pieces, ranging from depth maps to granular synthesis.
