World - After debuting with Celine Dion (Taking Chances World Tour 2009), Britney Spears (The Circus World Tour 2009), Kylie Minogue (US tour 2010), Microsoft (Kinect CDS launch 2010) and Victoria's Secret (2010), the MDG theONE atmospheric generator has completed another international assignment with Kylie Minogue's Aphrodite - Les Folies World Tour 2011, which draws to a conclusion in South Africa this week.

Four of the TheONE generators have accompanied Miss Minogue across 28 countries, augmented by four MDG Ice Fog QTM Low Lying Fog Generators, to produce the spectacular atmospherics which underpinned the tour's distinctive look.

The MDG units were supplied for the European and North American legs by the tour's lighting, video and sound supplier, Solotech. They were supplied at the request of lighting designer, Nick Waterhouse, who was careful to specify TheONE for the demanding 77-date, six month tour.

"I was introduced to MDG by Solotech's Karl Gaudreau when touring with Alicia Keys," says Waterhouse. "We then took four DMX-operated versions of TheONE on Kylie's For You, For Me tour in 2009 and I was very impressed. I was determined to use them again for Kylie's Aphrodite tour. I love the ability TheONE has to set the output level from the desk and to switch between haze and fog modes."
