A Free, Interactive Musical Journey Brought to Life on the World’s Largest Wraparound Screens at Outernet London
This summer, Outernet London and borabora studios invite you to step into a new kind of magic with the launch of Enchanted Forest: The Melody of Spirits, a first-of-its-kind, fully immersive, interactive musical adventure premiering on 30th July on the giant floor-to-ceiling screens at Outernet London’s flagship, The Now Building—completely free for audiences of all ages.
Enchanted Forest introduces a new form of audio-visual experience: a space where guests come together to create unique and mesmerising orchestral symphonies. A silent forest, once alive with melody, now lies still. Visitors are invited to help bring the music back by scanning a QR code, generating their own unique spirit character, and taking part in a live multiplayer orchestra. Using their phones, guests will trigger different sound layers to rebuild the lost melody and bring the forest to life again. Every participant becomes part of the music.

The experience blends cutting-edge real-time multiplayer technology with live audience interaction. Enchanted Forest responds in real time to visitors’ movements, actions, and musical choices. With more than 300 variations per session, each performance evolves into something unique—an ever-changing composition shaped entirely by the people in the room.
This is a completely free experience, for visitors of all ages. Whether you’re a solo explorer, a group of friends, or a family out for the day with the kids, Enchanted Forest: The Melody of Spirits offers an inclusive, magical journey for everyone.
Philip O’Ferrall, Outernet CEO, said: “The technology and artistry that have made it possible to create the Enchanted Forest really is astounding. We keep pushing the boundaries at Outernet, and this is another leap forward in showing what is possible to do on our immense screens. We look forward to welcoming visitors to try out this beautifully playful and immersive experience.”

Florian Woegerer, CEO of borabora studios, said: “Creating a magical space that brings smiles to people’s faces and offers an escape from the busy streets of London was a truly rewarding experience. Having the opportunity to work with a 16K screen and develop real-time content that genuinely ‘wows’ audiences—that’s what it’s all about. The collaboration with the Outernet Team went great, and we became more than just partners.
A heartfelt thank you and special credits go to Dennis Meyer, our lead software architect, and Gerard Pastor from Entertainment Development, the lead composer, whose incredible work made this experience truly magical.”
This experience could not exist anywhere else. Featuring the world’s largest wraparound LED screens and an integrated spatial audio system, Outernet merges digital storytelling with physical space to create fully immersive, participatory worlds. From its floor-to-ceiling 16K visuals to real-time audience interaction infrastructure, Outernet is the only destination where Enchanted Forest can be fully realised.
