Mong Tong brings their 2026 “Tomorrow Tone” tour to Shanghai, collaborating with visual group XTRUX for a live audiovisual performance. The show combines psychedelic electronic music with real-time generated visuals, creating an immersive experience shaped by both sound and technology. Each performance is designed to be unique, with visuals reacting live to the music on stage.

About the Performance

Mong Tong’s “Tomorrow Tone” tour introduces a live performance concept that combines experimental electronic music with visual systems. The project collaborates with visual group XTRUX to expand the live experience beyond sound, incorporating real-time generated imagery into the performance.

The visual component draws from mythological imagery inspired by One Thousand and One Nights, constructed through a game engine system that reacts directly to the band’s live MIDI signals. Musical elements such as notes and effects trigger immediate visual changes, creating a continuously shifting audiovisual environment.

The concept of “Tomorrow Tone” (Future Folk) explores how traditional cultural elements can be reinterpreted through modern technology. The performance moves between structured composition and live unpredictability, with each show shaped by real-time interaction between sound and visuals.
