Travis Scott just headlined 'Fortnite' instead of Coachella, debuting a new song with Kid Cudi. It was trippy. There were flaming microphone stands. More from Toddmartens:
the competitive video game-turned-brand platform that is as much a social network as it is a way to get shot with virtual bullets by strangers.
The battle royal game has never been this psychedelic. Moments before the event began Thursday at 4 p.m. PST our digital guns disappeared. Instead, players could suddenly wield a flaming microphone stand and hoist it above our heads as we danced.Scott’s invasion of “Fortnite” was essentially an interactive music video, one the artist used to premiere “The Scotts,” a new song with Kid Cudi.
While quickly touching on hits such as “Sicko Mode” and “Goosebumps,” players were constantly thrown around the world. Every few seconds the screen would flash as we were tossed from “Fortnite’s” beachside towns to outer space, and at one point we were completely submerged under water, attempting to float toward an astronaut.
While players swirled around and away from Scott, the event, dubbed “Astronomical,” constantly aimed to toy with our perceptions. If there’s a party-amid-the-flames aspect to Scott’s increasingly languid soundscapes, “Astronomical” was hedonism at its most disorienting, largely giving a makeover to “Fortnite’s” exaggerated and simplistic design.
