Chauvet sets multiple moods at Migration of Souls
- Details
Each day’s session concluded with a concert, and as befits the theme of the event, the roster of artist was varied, beginning with Japanese experimental guitarist Miyavi, on to the Barcelona Gipsy Balkan Orchestra and The Chalaban band, which performs Moroccan music with a central European twist, plus Original Enigma voices.
Chameleon Rental delivered the lighting with help from an impressive collection of Chauvet Professional fixtures. The rig featured 28 units of the Maverick MK2 Wash and 16 of the Maverick MK1 Spot, as well as 20 Rogue R2X Beams and six STRIKE 4 multi-format fixtures on the main performance stage. Additionally, there were 20 more Maverick MK2 Wash and 16 Rogue R3 Beam fixtures outside the concert venue for the opening night celebration (provide by Zoom Media).
Lighting designer Branislav Agarski (from ZoomMedia) and lighting engineer Mirko Unterberger and the Chameleon team, ensured that these fixtures were used to great effect creating myriad looks for the assorted performers.
Hung on two alternating rows of overhead truss, and on stage left and stage right truss, the MK2 Wash fixtures were used to colorize the stage in an array of rich evocative colours. Joining them over the stage the spot and beam fixtures, which were used created texturizing gobo patterns and highlight individual artists during the performances.
Connecting the crowd in the spacious performance area was a critical goal of the design team. Helping them accomplish it were the six Strike 4 fixtures, which were hung in a straight line on frontstage truss and used for audience lighting.
Enhancing the immersive aura throughout the venue were the fixtures that were used to colorise the undulating fabric that adorned the ceiling and sides of the area.
