USA - For Chicago-based rock band Disturbed's Music As A Weapon tour of the East Coast, South and Midwest, lighting designer Travis Shirley has chosen to use Martin MAC 2ks, 600s, 500s and 250s, Martin Atomic Colors, Atomic 3000 strobes, Color Kinetics Colorblast and Coemar Infinity spots. Control is via two Whole Hog II's.

Shirley says that the Coemar Infinity lights play a substantial role ion lighting the backdrop scenery. By operating the lights with the zoom open, the Coemar Infinity lights provide an even, soft zoom. Shirley adds that "the colour-mixing abilities are phenomenal."

The atomic strobes are placed asymmetrically, enabling very intricate chases top be performed. The Martin Atomic Colors and Color Kinetics Colorblasts also prove to be beneficial by adding texture and colour to the drum kit.

This is the second collaboration this year between Bandit Lites, Travis Shirley and Disturbed. Shirley has previous experience with Van Halen, Queen, REM, Jackson Brown and James Taylor.
