More than two hundred moving lights Robe, with Fortes models, Tetra2, Tetra1 y Spiiders, of, lighting designer of this American band, for his current tour.

American indie pop trio AIR, composed of Adam, Jack & Ryan Met, on tour Maybe Man, which will end at the end of this year, has trusted again, like in the last seven years, in the designer Ezra Donellan to illuminate your performances, who has specified more than two hundred moving lights from the manufacturer Robe.

The components of AIR They have a very personalized visual concept and production design, created by Mitchell Schellinger, responsible for Station Six, which is also transferred to the configuration of stage lighting.

As Ezra Donellan explains, “It is a very stimulating way of working.”. There are challenges and we all like to face them and find the best solutions”.

For the tour there is a great curved video screen in the back of the stage and with another that 'disappears' and It is divided into six sections, each of them independently movable through a control system Tait, which also forms a rounded edge and moves in different formations to maintain a dynamic scenery.

The lighting plot has moving light as its protagonist Strong LED of Dress. “It was the logical and perfect choice due to its greater firepower, but using the same optical and color systems as the Esprite model, something very important with so many Led screens in the production design”.

The Forte luminaires are mainly located on two curved structures on the stage, that combine with video screens. Due to some belts and other moving parts, ceiling space for lighting was extremely limited, so Ezra made a simple montage, con two rings of lights filling negative airspace.

More than a hundred Robe Tetra are installed on the stage, about the Forte, and 'joined' around the rear video screen to provide additional orientation and more angle dynamism, allowing you to create striking geometric shapes and motion effects.

The Tetra2 have three flower effects offering even more scope for imaginative effects and lensing., as well as the ability to move and tilt the entire device to increase options and transformations from individual straight pixel lines to lighting sheets.

“Designing lights for a band that is super specific about what they want and a show that incorporates so many dimensions is exhilarating.”. Much of the show is flashy and cheerful, but words are also key. It's very theatrical, every minute must be intricately lit and is fully lit all the time.”, adds the designer.

Lighting and video equipment for the tour Maybe Man of AIR have been supplied Gateway Studios & Production Services (GSPS) “and everything has been fantastic”, Ezra concludes..
