Chauvet captures Diverse Moods of Simply Three
- Details
In early March, the innovative trio performed at Arizona’s Mesa Centre, their diverse mix of music supported by an equally nimble and colourful lightshow designed by Erik Parker of Chris Lisle Design that used 46 Chauvet Professional fixtures, supplied by Creative Backstage.
Parker’s rig was anchored by a total of 12 Maverick MK2 Spot fixtures, 34 Rogue R2 Wash units and eight STRIKE 4 multi formatted lights. These, along with a collection of beam fixtures, were flown on an X-shaped truss configuration over the middle of the stage and a diagonal truss unit on either side. This arrangement allowed light to be focused on each performer individually, as well as on the entire trio.
“I was impressed with the versatile looks Erik was able to get directly on the stage out of the X-shaped configuration,” comments John Garberson of Creative Backstage, who provided technical assistance for the concert. “He could go from putting a soft wash on an individual performer to making the whole stage glow with colour, all pretty seamlessly.”
