Keith Urban’s High in Vegas resident has been one of the most fun and rewarding project’s we’ve been a part of. Brought on by Rob Sinclair and 1826 Studios as the Associate Lighting Designer and programmer, we brought this massive show to life in under a month. Along with all of the lighting, we also programmed some cleverly devised tools that turned the video pods into RGB matrices, lending another layer of tools and creativity to the design.

We were brought in by the Bending Lite Productions team to provide lighting direction and programming for the reveal of the new Scout Traveler and Terra. Staged on top of a mountain on Franklin Tennessee, we had the fun challenge of this event being shot directly into the setting sun. The end result was a beautiful reveal that perfectly fit the theme of a return to nature.

1.6 million people. 700 additional lights. 11 days of programming. Madonna's final show of her Celebration World Tour may very well be the pinnacle of projects that we have programmed. We helped program the initial tour back in 2023, and when designer Rob Sinclair asked us back for this project we were thrilled. This show was literally one for the history books and we are beyond honored to have been one of hundreds of people that brought it to life.

When we were asked by lighting designer Seth Bernstein if we wanted to program a show for Mercedes on a stage built into a lake in Beverly Hills, we couldn't say no. Continuing the launch of the new all electric EQG, this project was a classic LA show, and loads of fun to be a part of. Part car show and part concert, we had fixtures scattered all throughout the park and lake to create an ethereal atmosphere, backed by more smoke, haze and low fog than most tours.

2023 saw Blizzcon return with its first in-person event since 2019. The project was a colossal undertaking and we were brought onto the team to program The Arena by designer Manny Treeson of Nyx Design. The show was a mix of events, part corporate show, part concert, part cosplay contest, the variety of content allowed for a wide array of programming and creative choices. We worked with Touch Designer programmer Pete Thornberry to control the over 300 universes of pixel tape through the MA with flawless speed and ease.

At the start of 2020 we joined lead programmer Kris Goodman and lighting designer Sam Tozer to program Ozuna’s massive Nibiru world tour. The sheer number of songs was a huge undertaking, but this project was a true treat to be a part of, with Sam’s design providing us plenty of dynamic options to light the show.

In 2021 we teamed up once again with lighting designer Sarah Landau to light Puscifer’s Billy D and the Hall of the Feathred Serpents livestream. Shot at the legendary Mayan Theater in Los Angeles, the show took place both in the house with the beautiful fire curtain as a backdrop, and on the stage, shot in reverse out towards the audience. This livestream had it all and was an absolute blast to program.

Our good friend and production manager Anders Karlsson asked us to design and program this fun show that was part drive-in and part live stream. We had a lot of fun branching out and providing the lighting design for the entire experience, all the way down to blue gels over the street lights in the parking lot.

In 2021 we joined the design team at Shutter Cut Lighting to program two separate live streams that brought together absolute legends of the music industry. Loaded in, programmed and shot in extremely tight timeframes, these shows were a lot of fun and kept us on our toes.

After 2½ years of delays, Kygo’s long-awaited headlining Madison Square Garden show was a massive success. We continued our theme of clean, simple designs by utilizing five 60 foot long trusses on a large rake with to deliver big looks while keeping the structure in the air clean and understated.

The floor fixtures sat in two lines, upstage and downstage, while the three visible sides of the DJ booth were lined with Color Force II to pull focus to Kygo.

This was a massive undertaking and a huge team effort and we are grateful for the continued trust placed in us to help deliver unforgettable shows.

We were brought on board by the team at We Are Cinematic to provide lighting direction and programming for this large-scale event focusing on NFTs, cryptocurrency, the Metaverse, and much more. Part conference, part concert, part fashion show, and part art exhibition, this project was quite the treat to be a part of, and we were allowed full creative freedom in helping bring this show to life.

In 2022 Kygo took Mexico City by storm, selling out two nights to a total of 40,000 people. Our grid design transformed to fit the quantity of available gear, and in the process brought new life to the design, with a nod to the pyramids of the ancestral peoples of the land.

For Kygo’s largest headlining show to date at the Banc of California Stadium, we created a lighting design based on a clean visual appearance, simplicity, and symmetry.

Working with Production Designer Rob Sinclair, we came up with a grid of 246 Martin Fatrons, and filled in the gaps with Robe BMFL WashBeams. We filled out the stage wings in the air with Flare LRs, and on the floor with Robe Mega Pointes and Flare Q+.

Video content and Notch effects were created by Comix.

We worked side by side with Creative Technologies and Supersphere to program this incredibly fun and dynamic VR performance at the Verizon 5G Lab in Los Angeles.

Using Supersphere’s proprietary Arcrunner system, we were able to control the complete VR environment during the performance. Three Moons with XYZ motion and RGBW color control, the night-to-day cycle, leaves on the trees, grass on the ground and more were all programmed via a GrandMA3 Compact XT running in MA2 mode. We also placed virtual Mega Pointes throughout the environment to add some extra flash to the show.

We timecoded the show to create a seamless and repeatable show that could be recorded any way that the creative team desired via virtual cameras running inside the servers themselves.

We were brought on board by the team at Fuse Technical Group to provide screens programming for Roddy Ricch’s festival run.

Driven by a pair of Hippo Tierra+ and timecoded in MA2, this show was designed for maximum flexibility across a wide variety of festivals and screen designs. We built options to allow the show’s operator to switch any screen to IMAG at a moment’s notice to play along with the artist’s fluid performance style. We also created plenty of fun IMAG effects to give the show a distinct visual style.

This was Kygo’s first show back since the Pandemic started, 18 months later. We created a simple, symmetrical lighting design that focused on creating big looks with little time, as we only had 5 days to timecode and program the entire show.

Lighting, video, and audio supplied by Brown Note Productions.

When Kygo decided to perform in the Sunnmore Alps, we were tasked with designing a rig that would compliment the natural beauty of the location without blocking the stunning views.
We chose symmetrical looks that would light up the snow and look great with all of the drone videography.
We timecoded the performance and sent it off to a local team in Norway to operate. We are grateful to be able to create with this incredible team, even from half a world away.

We were brought onboard by the team at XR Studios to provide lighting programming for the Where Do We Go live stream.

Working alongside touring lighting designer Tony Caporale and lighting director Madigan Stehly, we were able to fully immerse the artist in the XR world.

We were brought on board by Lighting Designer Sarah Landau to program Puscifer’s “Existential Reckoning” stream in support of their latest record. Shot at Arcosanti in Arizona, the shoot was comprised of two distinct lighting and video rigs, installed in multiple locations.
