Jean-Michel Jarre Indoors with MagicQ
Jean-Michel Jarre is probably best known for his spectacular outdoor shows in London, Egypt and Houston but for his latest tour he came indoors into arenas for a more intimate feeling where the audience could get up close and really feel his music. Lighting and lasers were mixed together to create a spectacular visual show to complement the music with the band remaining the centre of attention.
Lighting equipment was provided by EML Productions Belgium and designed by Arf & Yes Belgium. The lighting rig consisted of Vari*Lite spots and washes, iPix BB4s and High End StudioPix. Behind the band, the lighting was arranged on five hydraulic lifts, enabling each song to have a different look and feel.
Operator Glen Mollemans chose to program the lighting on a MagicQ MQ100 Pro together with a MagicQ Execute Wing. MagicQ Pro easily handled the high channel count required by the channel hungry High End Show Pix. Glen used a ChamSys MIDI/Timecode interface to play back the more energetic numbers such as Equinoxe in exact synchronisation with the music. Glen found it easy to modify the timecode sequencing using ChamSys Cue Stack and Timecode Learn functions. He made extensive use of Cue Stack macros, programming individual FX, chases and cues on the Execute Wing and then triggering them from the master playbacks.
Lighting design was by Ignace D'Haese of Arf & Yes.com and operated by Glenn Mollemans.
