SKIN TECHNICAL RIDER (Click here to download as Word document)
As of 11/04

This show is a full multi-media production consisting of two musicians at workstations on opposite ends of the stage flanking a large projection screen. Live music elements include drums (electric and acoustic), synthesizers and guitar. Video projections run throughout the show synchronized with smpte timecode to the music. In fact, the visuals are as much (if not more) a part of the show as the musicians. The stage can be flanked by two 23 foot tall rigs with fabric. Video projectors project images on the fabric throughout the show. During parts of the show, performers will climb the fabric and do aerial acrobatics as images are projected on them.

There are several incarnations possible of the show.
The FULL show runs 74 minutes
Cutdown 1 is a 1 Hour show
Cutdown 2 is a 45 minute show

Our equipment includes:

video decks (with s-video/composite/or component out)
3 video projectors: 2 for projecting on Aerial fabric, 1 for main stage
lighting board with dimmers
lighting for workstations
acrobatic rigs
guitars/keyboards/electronic drums/mixer

Load in and setup of full show with rigs requires about 3 hours under normal circumstances.


AUDIO REQUIREMENTS

We require a fairly robust sound system, but are fairly self sufficient when it comes to channel requirements, we function very well on a live stage, but are flexible enough to work with a sound system with minimal channel inserts (i.e. one designed for dj’s or film and video projection)

Channel requirements:
1 keyboard/laptop rig mixer stereo direct out
1 wireless drum mic
1 guitar amp
(we can provide all required microphones)
Depending on venue, we may premix all channels from stage (including monitoring) and provide 1 stereo pair to house sound. We’re fairly self sufficient when need be, but are willing and happy to work with others (does this sound like a personal ad or what?)

2 wedge monitors (we can provide if none exist in house)


LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS

No lighting required…all lighting will be provided and midi controlled from the stage


VISUAL REQUIREMENTS

3000 to 10,000 lumen projector (depending on venue and throw distance)
projection screen (4x3 aspect ratio) 20 to 30ft diagonal
Again we CAN provide 3000 lumen projector and 9’x12’ easy up screen if necessary.

For aerial acrobatics/slide projections: aerial fabric can be hung from load bearing structures if they exist on site. We also own two free standing aerial rigs for outdoor venues or venues with no ways to tie in to the ceiling. The free standing rigs MUST be guy wired at 23 feet… guy wires can be driven into the ground, or attached to 50 gallon water barrels depending on the venue…
Rigs can be freestanding at 18 ft if necessary (but 23 ft is optimal for performance)

Overhead and front view schematics of the stage setup are attached.
