I love the idea of working with artists and light!! It is very interesting to hear that Nate is an artist who doesn’t want front light, so completely different from the theater world. Something exciting that I learned while programming a song for class is that a lighting piece is sooooo completely different with or without the artist on stage. There is an incredible amount of variables that come into designing for concert settings (so I guess as the article mentioned) a versatile rig is always a good option when lighting an artist that needs room to play. Lighting has a very dramatic impact on the way that audience members view the artist's work. It is one thing to listen to his music at home or see it on youtube, it is a completely different experience to see it live, feel the music, be with other audience members, see and feel the lighting, and understand the emotion of the artist throughout the combine experience.
This looks like a really versatile and useful rig. I love reading about the choices made by the lighting designer because they help conceptualize the actual looks of the songs so much better. This doesn’t seem like the most complicated lighting rig in the world, which can be sort of limiting, but it looks like the designer got exactly what he needed to get NF’s vision across. I particularly love the Quantum Wash fixtures that are on either side of the artist and I really love their explanation of those. You can certainly tell that they achieved their goal of no front light, but still being able to see him in this picture that goes along with the article. I also really love Sceptrons. I had the opportunity to play around with them this summer at an internship that I did, and they really are so versatile. They allow you to do pretty much whatever you want with them. They are a great tool.
