Ayrton MagicBlade-R key light on Haywyre tour

American musician, music producer, composer and DJ, Martin Vogt - known by his stage name of Haywyre - hit the road this February with his 'Discovery + Form' tour to mark the release of his latest series of EPs.

Kicking off at The Crocodile in Seattle on 22 February, the tour ran for 17 dates culminating on March 22 at the U Street Music Hall in Washington DC. The venues throughout the tour varied in size from the 350-capacity Catalyst Atrium in Santa Cruz to the 800-seat EchoPlex in Los Angeles.

To maintain the visual integrity of the production between venues, lighting designer, Taylor (Brotay) Copp chose Ayrton MagicBlade-R fixtures, supplied by Hivemind Lux LLC, as his key lights. "We mounted the MagicBlade-Rs on to black poles on either side of the stage," says Eric Bindman, Haywyre’s tour manager. "We could up- or down-scale this arrangement to suit each venue, and because it requires no overhead truss, we could fit into the smallest room."

Copp used the MagicBlade-Rs  to frame the artist, alternating dramatic cross light with dynamic and static configurations, running chases and video content through the linear faces of the fixtures as well as mixing up the style with position and alignment.
