Pulse Lighting chooses Ayrton Domino for Widespread Panic’s Mempho debut

The Mempho 2021 festival was held from October 1-3, 2021, at the Memphis Botanic Garden’s Radians Amphitheater. American rock band Widespread Panic played two nights of the musicfest.

Paul Hoffman, one of the owners and President of Pulse Lighting in Nashville, became the lighting designer for Widespread Panic in 2009 after serving as the band’s crew chief for three years. He worked with ACT Entertainment, Ayrton’s exclusive North American distributor, to obtain the IP65-rated Domino fixtures for Widespread Panic’s Mempho debut.

Hoffman placed ten Dominos on the stage floor behind the band to silhouette the musicians and put patterns, colour washes and break ups on them from the rear. “We also used them in beam mode for searchlight effects behind the band”, he says. “Then we turned them around to do graphical stuff on the back wall of the stage like the star field we used for the song ‘Space Wrangler’.”
