At the suggestion of member 'keep it simple', I'd like to ask about band lighting. I'm considering how to build a worthwhile small-gig set that my trio can use to improve our stage show, possibly dazzling our audience (quite literally) with something they'll really remember. Ultimately I want to build something that blows away the audiences, particularly midi triggered from my kit. But for now a much smaller and affordable start...
I would be very interested to know...
As well as being the drummer, I handle all the kit used by our band (in fact I own most of it). I'm very technical and have been a professional TV director, TV/video cameraman, and producer of electronic music in the past, for a living, so things like midi triggering and computer linking etc. DMX and the like don't scare me and are well within my capability.
I would be very interested to know...
- What lighting kit (makes, models etc.) you or your band uses and how effective it is.
- Do you use moving lights? Color washes? Strobes? Lasers? Glitter balls? etc.
- Does it look cool, or cheesy?
- What kind of lighting do you think suits your music?
