Tour
Building a live show that breathes
How the stage design, horn section and lighting rig were rebuilt for arena rooms.

Moving from clubs to arenas is not about playing louder. It is about giving a song enough room that ten thousand people can hear the silence between two drum hits.
One rig, three sizes
The rig collapses into three configurations so the same show reads in a festival field, a theatre and an arena without redesigning it every leg.
“If the lighting cue is not following the drummer, it is decoration.”
