Steve Lacy Tour 2024

2024 | A Hirsch & Mann collaboration with Tino Schaedler for Steve Lacy's Tour

A bespoke interactive visual system created in collaboration with VJ and visual artist Timeboy for Steve Lacy's headline tour of Laneways festival.

A modular approach allowed us to create multiple effects, or ‘patches’, which could then be streamed live into Resolume VJ software. Each patch was parameterised, and could be run on any combination of live or canned footage. We developed an interface to allow for hot swapping and saving of patches to ensure freedom to explore and then save any permutation of the performance.

We also added the ability for Steve Lacy to trigger moments of visual crescendo live on stage with a custom pedal setup. To allow for rapid and repeated stage setup on the tour across Australia, New Zealand and Japan, we designed a rugged and modular on-stage housing to direct all of the custom depth camera and pedal information back to the VJ desk over fibre optics with minimal setup.

My specifc role was the overal system design, not only of the rugged portable hardware setup, but also the architecture and UI of the bespoke TouchDesigner software package we delivered.
