A Night at The Movies: GF Entertainment's Immersive Piano On-board Experience
London-based GF Entertainment has now unveiled their latest out of this world experience – a brand new immersive on-board event like no other. Established in 2014, GF Entertainment specialises in making their clients’ wildest dreams become a reality. The Immersive Piano Add-On™ is the ultimate live performance designed to take yacht owners and charterers on a whimsical journey engrossed in Hollywood glamour and masterful storytelling; taking your typical movie night to the next level.
Each film is brought to life by international award-winning Steinway artist Vincent Corver, who also composes original live music on the spot, in real time, allowing guests to indulge in a unique screening in the privacy and comfort of their own yacht.
Corver adds a new level of depth to what you’re witnessing on screen, crafting exquisite, emotive and dramatic pieces, personally tailored to each group or individual. Whether you’re enjoying a romantic evening for two, or a family celebration, Corver is able to capture these precious moments perfectly; turning each frame, both on and off-screen, into memories that are simply unforgettable.
“Vincent is one of those pianists that thinks outside the box, he’s not constricted to just being a piano player, he’s also a producer and composer,” says GF Entertainment's Founder and Managing Director Emmanuel Akintunde.
To ensure exceptional sound, the team will assist in providing your yacht with a Steinway grand piano, quality audio reproduction system and an audio specialist onsite for piano amplification and master signal mixing.
“I believe the piano is by far the most versatile instrument in the world, capable of creating musical emotive worlds, often experienced beyond the conscious mind. I have been experimenting with piano add-ons for over 10 years, starting with hit songs by Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake and live piano concerts with curated films,” says Corver.
“The immersive idea of Emmanuel’s is really taking this to the next level, allowing for a redefined way of experiencing any film, with an even deeper sonic experience. It’s a superb feeling taking a select audience into a captivating, artistic embrace.”
Inspired by orchestra-accompanied film screenings at venues like the Royal Albert Hall in London, Akintunde wanted to design a cinematic experience that would take yacht guests through a similarly captivating symphonic journey that makes you feel as if you are a part of the very fabric of the film.
“We wanted to bring something fresh and unique to the market,” says Akintunde. “Clients are always looking for something fun and different that can be enjoyed in the comfort of their own vessel. And this provides the ability to be able to safely enjoy amazing experiences in your own bubble.”
No matter the mood, or what kind of adventure you may be seeking, Corver is able to reimagine it for you with in the form of musical mastery. Bring home The Immersive Piano Add-On™ – bring home cinema.
