The Virtual Band
The Virtual Band is a musical group that creates and performs music using digital technology and animated characters. Unlike traditional bands, its members are often fictional, computer-generated personas, allowing for unique visual storytelling and creative expression. This concept has gained popularity in the music industry, blending music with animation and virtual reality.
One of the most famous examples of a virtual band is Gorillaz, formed in 1998 by musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett. The band features animated characters that represent its members, and they have released several successful albums, combining various musical styles and innovative visuals.
