"With 'Kongsted in Koncert' we are creating an experience for the crowd that is different from my other shows," the artist explains. "Here we can control more parameters - light, sound, visuals, production design, décor etc. - in a way that is not possible on my more standard live shows. This gives us the opportunity to create a very unique experience linking together my music and playing style in perfect harmony."
To match his vision of creating an environment around electronic music, to provide an escape from reality for a few hours, Kongsted chose to add SGM's one meter LED tubes (LT-100) to his design. "It was very important to generate a massive visual impact, where the LED screens, in conjunction with the SGM LED tubes, create a more dimensional universe," he informs.
Working against time, the huge set production proved difficult to achieve, for which reason the number of LT-100 tubes hanging from the ceiling was cut from 100 pieces to 72 pieces for the show. However, this was still sufficient to create an overall impression - and to compensate, some of the remaining tubes were added into the production on stage. "It really made the whole production blend very well. But my mission for next time is to have as many SGM LED tubes in the ceiling as possible to create a unique universe," he says.
