Rogues back Maggie Rogers at KOKO

UK - When Maggie Rogers appeared at London’s KOKO club to support the release of her new single Give A Little, designer Ben Everett of Mirrad reflected her multifarious sound with a lightshow that was as varied and multi-dimensional as her music. Helping him in his undertaking was collection of 14 Chauvet Professional Rogue R1 FX-B fixtures, supplied by Colour Sound Experiment.
“The initial concept behind the design was to incorporate a mix of vintage looks with tungsten fixtures and more current electronic looks as a nod to both the folk and electronic genres that heavily influence Maggie’s music,” said Everett. “Budgetary constraints limited the number of tungsten fixtures we could incorporate, but we did rely very heavily on the Rogue FX-Bs to provide enough diversity to do justice to her music. When you have 14 of the FX-B as we did, you can create an endless variety of very different looks.”
Everett arranged his Rogue R1 FX-B fixtures on three horizontal drop bars rigged from the house back truss at 1.5m intervals. He had five of the RGBW LED linear fixtures attached to the top bar, four to the middle bar and five to the bottom bar.
From these positions, he was able to create a wide array of dynamic aerial effects, having beams from each fixture’s five independently controlled moving heads cross one another in mid-air, move in different directions, or act in unison with all 75 moving heads casting light in the same direction.
