Only 15 Guests • $45 General Admission
The night after the September 19 show, 15 guests are invited inside the studio for a rare behind-the-scenes experience with NORIKO and the band.
You'll be just feet away as the six-piece band performs seven original songs live off the floor—all of the musicians playing together, in the moment. Recording engineers will capture the performances while cameras roll for an upcoming music video.
This isn't another concert. You're stepping inside the creative process.
You'll see what normally happens behind closed studio doors: the performances, the energy between the musicians, the conversations between takes, the technical adjustments—and those moments when everything comes together and a recording is born.
What Does “Live Off the Floor” Mean?
Rather than recording each musician separately, the entire band performs together, in the same room, at the same time. It captures the natural interaction, spontaneity and energy of a live ensemble.
Because this is a real recording and filming session, there may be pauses for camera setups, sound adjustments or additional takes. That's part of the experience. You're not watching a recreation of a studio session—you're witnessing the real thing.
Important Arrival Information
Please arrive during the entry window so there is time for check-in and seating before recording begins. Once the doors close at 4:30 PM, late entry may not be possible while recording and filming are underway.
Location
The session will take place at a private professional recording studio in Vancouver. The exact address and arrival instructions will be provided to confirmed ticket holders prior to the session.
Filming & Photography Notice
Video, photography and audio recording will take place throughout the session.
By purchasing a ticket and attending, you acknowledge that you may be photographed, filmed or audio recorded. Your image, likeness, voice or appearance may be included in the resulting music video and related promotional materials. Attendance does not guarantee that you will appear in the final music video.
