New in 2020, Supernova presents the first ever Everything Abstract-Sonic, a program that highlights the synergy between abstract visuals and dynamic sound, culminating in sensorial euphoria. Replacing our regular Music Videos program, Abstract-Sonic moves closer to defining a genre that is still the most pure representation of the digital medium today. Additional outstanding music videos can be found sprinkled throughout other Supernova programs.
Everything Abstract Sonic is suitable and recommended for all ages
