Obscura (experience): Blackstar, David Bowie - 8pm

In 2016, David Bowie released Blackstar, his 25th and final studio album. Working with longtime producer Tony Visconti and saxophonist Donny McCaslin’s band, Bowie brought jazz, art rock, and electronics together on a record that moves between unease and tenderness.

Across tracks like “Blackstar,” “Lazarus,” and “I Can’t Give Everything Away,” shifting rhythms, restless saxophone, and Bowie’s intimate vocals give shape to songs about mortality and farewell. Ten years after its release, we’ll hear the album in full, in complete darkness.

Obscura (experience) is an immersive listening experience presented by Ic3y Mag and Qobuz, where full-length albums are experienced in surround sound and complete darkness.

Hosted inside a cinema, the format removes visual distractions and places the entire focus on sound.

Eye masks are provided. Phones away. No talking. One album, from beginning to end.

Presented by Qobuz.
