SWATCH

The Brief:

The client wanted to create a high-impact yet fully immersive sound field for each guest, sothe bespoke audio track for the main performance piece was mixed in 7.1 surround sound.The physical limitations of the space were highly restrictive and build time was limited to 24 hours pre-event.A central control machine was required to automate timecode cues lighting and video departments

The Solution:

In advance of the event our project manager worked closely with the sound designer to create audio tracks that were suitable for the location of the audience areas. This immersive sound field was then translated into an acoustic design using Acoustics Soundvision. The Physical audio system was designed in AutoCAD in conjunction with the event floor-plan, and the final installation was carried out in 8 hours using a team of 12 technicians.Multiple rehearsals and sound-checks allowed the perfect synchronisation of Q-labtime code across all departments and last minute tweaks to the show. The end-result was a memorable contemporary dance piece across a projection mapped stage for 500 VIPS and guests
