  PRODUCTION CONCEPT

  CARDIOID SUB ARRAY FOR STREET FESTIVALS

  Pointing low frequency at the crowd and away from the neighborhood, without losing the punch.

  Downtown events die on noise complaints. We tested end-fire and cardioid sub configurations against a fixed measurement point behind the stage and settled on a cardioid build that gives roughly 15 dB of rear rejection. The crowd keeps the chest hit. The porch two streets over gets its evening back.

  AI STAGE CONCEPT

  AI-GENERATED STAGE CONCEPTS

  Concept renders in minutes so clients approve a look before a truck is loaded.

  We generate stage and lighting looks from the event brief, then rebuild the approved direction in a real plot. The render is never the deliverable — it is a faster conversation. The rig still has to be engineered, rigged and programmed by people.

  NEW TECHNOLOGY

  TIMECODE ON EVERY HEADLINE SET

  Light, video and playback locked to one clock so the reveal lands in the same frame.

  Busking is right for support acts and wrong for a set piece that has to hit exactly. We now build a timecode track for headline sets and reveals, with a busked fallback if the clock ever drops.

  LIGHTING EXPERIMENT

  HAZE THAT DOES NOT SET OFF THE BUILDING

  Beam visibility in venues with sensitive detection systems.

  Beams are invisible without atmosphere, and atmosphere is what gets shows stopped. We built a haze protocol — particle size, placement, ramp time and airflow mapping — that keeps the rig visible and the venue calm.

  FUTURE EVENT DESIGN

  LED AS ARCHITECTURE, NOT AS A SCREEN

  Breaking the wall into scenic volumes that read as a built set.

  A flat rectangle behind a band is the easy answer. We are prototyping broken-tile layouts, floating columns and floor extensions so the video package reads as a built environment instead of a television.

  BEHIND THE SCENES

  THE FOURTEEN-HOUR BUILD

  Empty floor to doors, documented hour by hour.

  We time every phase of the build — dock to deck, deck to rig, rig to focus, focus to tune, tune to check. The log is how we quote honestly and how we know which part of the day to fix next.
