Lighting and stage design for Belgian rock band Clouseau’s 30th anniversary tour was created by Luc Peumans of Painting with Light. The visual concept was based around creating a lounge-style environment with carpets on the floor, standard lamps dotted around and an upright piano onstage.

 

The specified console for this tour was a Hog 4, supplied by AED. Luc Peumans and Painting with Light’s Paco Mispelters programmed the ‘30’ show together and were splitting the console operating duties between them navigating between their schedules and other commitments, ensuring the band had one or the other of them at each gig.

 

Special for this show was a chandelier created by Peumans, utilising 120 x Lucenti Pearl RGBW bulbs (an Edison screw fit product) featuring an RGB LED ring and a warm white ‘filament’. This product has been developed by creative light engineering and concept specialist Explorentis from Boutersem, and is distributed in Belgium by Face.

 

Each bulb was individually controlled via the lighting desk, and the 120 lightsources were hung above the band on six bespoke 1.6 metre diameter metal circles, each accommodating 20 bulbs on the ends of slim steels. The circles could be hung on the venue’s house bar systems for quick rigging/de-rigging, and for safe transportation they pack into a custom dolly.

 

For the rest of the production lighting, Peumans chose 18 x Chauvet Rogue R2 Wash moving lights which were positioned on six custom elevating towers upstage. The towers were also designed for the tour by Luc, and fabricated by Axept.

 

They were straightforward to rig, de-rig and transport, and could extend up to 4 metres in height. They were also carrying 12 x Chauvet Maverick Mk2 Spots, with seven rigged on the venue house bars and five on the floor. The tour’s lighting equipment was supplied by Coruna Sound & Light.
