For concerts and events, I create interactive tools for live stage production and spatial audio. I specialize in interactivity between sound and video/lights, custom interfaces for artists, playback engineering, immersive sound, and system design.

 

Coachella 2022, Circular Dimensions x Microscape by Cristopher Cichocki

The five-story-tall Circular Dimensions x Microscape, constructed with more than 25,000 feet of PVC tubes, presents a visual spectacle peering into the artist’s ongoing exploration of water and the history of the desert. I piloted new L-Acoustics multichannel amps and developed custom show control programming to creatively drive the immersive L-ISA system, allowing live DJs to mix sound spatially on the fly for an audience of five hundred thousand guests over two weekends. Collaboration with Jonathan Snipes and Cristopher Cichocki.

PRAGUE QUADRENNIAL 2019, 36Qº - BLUE HOUR

36Q° Blue Hour was an experimental interactive environment presented at the Prague Quadrennial 2019. I designed custom spatial programming using AVAE Canvas and d&b Soundscape to spatialize four distinct sound designs for a 24-minute loop.

THE WINDMILL FACTORY, PIXEL CLOUD

PIXEL CLOUD was made for Matrix + LDJ Productions. 392 audio-responsive pixel LED balloons that react to live sound, in addition to tightly cued patterns synced to FOH audio playback. Responsible for interactivity programming, visual design, and on-site install and operation.  
 

 

THE WINDMILL FACTORY, PIXEL MOUNTAIN

Pixel Mountain was made for a one night event for a global tech company to be the featured WOW stage design for Cayucas's headlining performance and DJs to follow. Over 250 individually addressable balloons custom LED balloons installed in a multilayer pixel wall or "mountain". Audio reactive complex programming reveal various patterns from subtle to frenetic. The installation was voice activated, synced to the beat of the DJ, and programmed to Cayucas's set. Responsible for interactivity programming, visual design, and on-site install and operation.
