2025 ARIA AWARDS The 2025 Aria Awards, produced by Second Sunday on 19 November, delivered one of their most visually ambitious productions to date. Brompton Technology’s Tessera LED processors powered a full ROE Visual LED system, worked by the award-winning AV company Scene Change. The large-format LED installation helped create a cohesive, camera-ready visual environment for Australia’s premier music awards, held at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion and streamed live on Paramount+ and Network 10. The ceremony had a standout line-up of performances and speeches from artists such as Amyl and the Sniffers, who led the night with four wins, alongside Ninajirachi, Dom Dolla, Troye Sivan, Thelma Plum and Olivia Dean. “Shows like the Arias leave no room for error,” said Anthony Pellizzari, account manager at Scene Change. “We needed a system we could trust for complex, fast broadcast demands. The golden combination of ROE and Brompton brought the required reliability, flexibility and headroom.
FRENCH ELECTRONIC MUSIC ADDED TO UNESCO HERITAGE LIST
The recognition highlights the genre’s enduring artistic, social and historical significance. Over five decades, Jarre has continually expanded the possibilities of electronic sound and large-scale performance, staging landmark concerts at iconic cultural and UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the Pyramids of Giza, the Forbidden City, the Eiffel Tower, Versailles, Masada, Pompeii and, most recently, Samarkand.
France has officially put electronic music on its national Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage, marking a decisive step toward a future UNESCO application. The announcement, reported by Le Figaro , highlights nearly a century of innovation, from the 1928 Ondes Martenot to the global impact of French Touch with the likes of Air, Cassius, Daft Punk and Justice. Jean-Michel Jarre is cited as one of the movement’s foundational figures.
