HOWARD JONES will play a one-off show at London’s IndigO2 on February 20th to mark the release of his latest project, ‘ENGAGE’, an interactive CD/DVD, digital and interactive book format, allowing fans to fully interact with the content. The ENGAGE concept, which includes a vast array of influences that have shaped his work, incorporates the audience’s participation through audio-visual elements and the use of apps and is described as “a celebration of arts seen through Howard’s eyes, using all the expressions he loves the most: music, ballet, contemporary dance, cinema and philosophy.”

“I conceived ENGAGE as a live visceral experience”, Howard explains, “I imagined myself at the venue and imagined what it would be like to be at a gig and how exciting you could make the music and the visuals and make it a fully immersive experience. I didn’t want to think of just another studio album or another live concert DVD; I wanted to liberate myself from conventional song structures. I wanted cinematic textures, big sub-bass moments, and dramatic coordinated visuals. Each piece has either something to interact with or to physically construct with online support. ENGAGE comes as a DVD mixed in 5.1 and stereo and an audio CD. With the book comes another DVD with live performances of 12 acoustic and electric tracks.”
There are TICKETS available for the London show and more details on the ENGAGE project are available on the project’s WEBSITE.
