In concerts they have been used 24 Pointes, 24 Spiiders y 36 Robe LEDWash 300s, equipment that was located on five trusses behind the stage and to the sides. They were also used to mount 4-inch LED screens.×1 metros.

'Children of the Sea’ is the name of the latest concert tour by the Almeria singer David Bisbal in which he is promoting his album of the same name.. This has already passed through Spain and Latin America and will continue this year.

Ezequiel Gómez has been the person responsible for the design of the lighting infrastructure and has chosen Robe for most robotics, with Spiider luminaires, Pointe y LEDWash 300 being key in the rig.

Ezequiel has worked with this artist since the year 2009. The stage and stage design for this tour was a true collaboration between the artist himself, Brian Sellei by Less than Zero, Universal Music, LED control (LED specialists in Barcelona) and the performing arts collective SomosLuz, which counts Ezekiel as a member.

Ledscontrol presented the initial idea from which the look of the stage evolved. From this arose the idea of ​​having 'closets’ Partially closed LEDs for band risers. Ezequiel and his SomosLuz team were able to adapt it to turn it into a concept suitable for a tour.. The video department of SomosLuz, directed by Lucas Averbuj, made the video with direct input from David Bisbal.

Las 24 Pointes, 24 Spiiders y 36 LEDWash 300s were located on five trusses behind the stage and to the sides, which were also used to assemble a series of LED video screens that measure four meters wide and one meter high..

El truss LX 1 I was on the proscenium and the LX 5 I was at the back of the stage, and on this they were mounted 12 of Spiider luminaires. The LX 4 had 12 Pointes and the LX 2, as well as the LX 3. were loaded with 6 Points y 6 Alternating Spiiders. All LEDWash 300s were mounted on the side trusses. LEDWash 300s were used to illuminate the band from that specific angle, applying color and density to the width of the deck.

Since they offer a wide range of effects, Pointe luminaires were used in beam and spot mode for many of these.

The Spiiders were used to bathe the stage in bold uniform colors and provide background lighting., powerful and warm. They took advantage of the zone control function and also the central flower effect as a scenic element to change the nature and perception of the interpretive space..

Spiider luminaires were specified because “we like the quality of the light and the effects that can be achieved especially coming from the hexagonal shape of the central LED and the fact that it can be used as a stage effect”, comments Ezequiel, who has used the idea of ​​the hexagonal shape in several recent designs.

The overall visual design for the tour was based on these three distinctive elements, and there he also found his balance… strips of video screens, lighting and risers illuminated with LEDs.
These were combined to create a coherent visual harmony. “There was a retro touch of the decade 1980 in this aesthetic. With our designs it is not simply about using effects and achieving Wow factors. It is about bringing dramaturgy and emotion to the stage and sharing and communicating with the audience”, Ezequiel clarifies.

Lighting equipment for the Spanish portion of the tour was provided by flights, who have acquired all their Robe luminaires from the Spanish distributor EES and the head of his lighting staff was José Miguel Velázquez.

Iván Gárcia Fernández directed the IMAG video cameras, Antonio Allue was the stage director, Aitor Sanchez Crespo organized the tour and the production director for the tour was Ricardo Yago López.
