Godskitchen Boombox Tour with Pearl Expert

Saturday, January 30, 2010 || Avolites

The end of 2009 saw the hugely successful Godskitchen Boombox Tour land on Aussie territory after opening earlier in the year on Ukraine soils at IEC, Kiev to a record breaking crowd of 16,000 people. The brainchild of founders Exyzt and Production Eye International saw Simon Barrington acting as LD and production manager and where his tool of choice was a Pearl Expert with Titan 2.0 software.

Simon explained: The IEC is one of the bigger venues we do on this tour. It lends itself very well to our Production. The Promoters production team, Virus, are very good, and its the perfect place for us to try new ideas

The Pearl Expert with Titan 2.0 software was ideal for us Simon continued: the show was 6 hours long, so there is a lot of programming to do, but the new additions to TITAN have made it a hugely viable solution. The Expert is widely available around the world, and as we use local production, and carry as little as possible its important that we use a control platform thats recognised across the world. The integration of Titan with the new Tiger touch has also made it a more practical solution.

The rig was arranged to divide in two parts, the stage and the dance floor and although fixtures did vary in every territory the lighting spec included18 x VL3000, 4 x VL3500,16 x Martin Atomic 3000, 6 x JB Lighting VaryLED 384, 16 x 4 Cell Molefay and 2 x DF50 Hazers. The stage held 90 x ROE Technology SCS P150 LED Panels while the dance floor kit integrated 10x JB Lighting VaryLED 384, 12 x JB Lighting Varycolor 7, 2 x JB Lighting Varycolor 6, 12 x Coemar Infinity Wash and 6 x Atomic 3000s. Barrington added: the show is Video led, so the lighting design was based on straight lines, not curved trusses. It was unlike any of my previous designs. Other factors included colour restraints and designers, 1024d, were keen to make sure no moving lights hit the box. We only had a vague script of what to do through the night, but we almost never knew what the next record was about to be.
