Colour Sound supports Wild Life Festival

UK lighting rental company Colour Sound Experiment supplied lighting - including over 300 moving lights - to the four principal stages at new UK festival Wild Life, together with their new high definition proprietary 7 mm LED screen for one stage. The weekend line-up was presented by electronic artists Disclosure and Rudimental, both also main stage headliners.

The event was staged over two days at Shoreham Airport in Sussex near Brighton, and enjoyed by capacity crowds of 35,000 music fans each day. The production design for the four stages was completed by Simon Barrington and Mike Oates and the 16 strong Colour Sound team was led on site by Stuart “Woody” Wood.

The Main stage (X2) was a large Star Events Vertec structure under which Colour Sound sub-hung trusses to provide all the lighting positions. Twenty-eight of the company’s new Robe BMFL Spots were supplied as the principle moving lights, together with 24 x LEDWash 1200s.

These were joined by strobes and blinders together with fog and smoke. Both Disclosure and Rudimental brought in their own floor packages ‘underneath’ as designed by Will Potts and Jonny Gaskell respectively. Rudimental’s extras were supplied by Colour Sound as part of a touring arrangement ongoing throughout the summer.

The second stage (X1) was an outdoor scaffolding structure, and the lighting supplied combined Robe LEDWash 600s and Pointe moving lights with Moles and strobes. X3 was a big top marquee and band stage for which Colour Sound supplied three trusses, MMX Spot and LEDWash 600 moving lights. The fourth space (X4) was a Kayam tent and in here Colour Sound also supplied 200 square metres of their new 7 mm HD LED screen, which is the first batch of this product to join their existing stock of BT12 and BT20 versions.

The screen was configured as one large surface measuring 12 metres wide by 5 metres high at the back of the stage, with another 4 x 1 metre slice used to clad the front of the DJ booth. Lighting wise, 64 x Clay Paky Sharpies were rigged on a ground-support structure around the stage for the beam looks, joined by MMX Spots and more strobes, blinders and hazers. Control for each of the stages was a mix of ChamSys and Avolites.
