Lemon Jelly bounce with James Thomas
With only two people in the band, visuals are at the absolute essence of Lemon Jelly's live show. From the first time the Pixels jump into the set - shimmering ephemerally in the 3rd number of the set - they get a massive audience reaction. The show builds from there, with Byars illustrating the massive potential and scope for a PixelLine rig to look completely different throughout the whole set. He explains: "PixelDrive is absolutely instrumental in this show, they are effectively controlling the PixelLines with video clips and other visual images. Apart from the massive amount of programming time this saves, it produces a limitless range of dramatic effects very quickly, which can also be tweaked and changed quickly if needed." Byars is running the PixelDrive as a mix of graphics layers and chases, squeezing the max out of the system's internal chases, plus live image and source manipulation on top of that. Other lighting equipment includes ten High End Studio Spots, 24 PC Beams and four strobes, all floor mounted, and run off an Avolites Diamond 4 console. All lighting gear is supplied by PRG. The video equipment is being supplied by PSL and audio is sourced locally at each show, and mixed by Lemon Jelly's FOH engineer, Kevin Pruce. |
