Editor’s Note
Dear readers,

I hope you’ve had a good 2014 so far!
And welcome to the second issue of LAVA magazine. As usual, we’ve
featured a wide variety of interesting projects from all around the
world that span different fields within the pro audio, visual and lighting
industry – from theatre lighting to church audio to visual projections to
laser shows.
The main theme for this issue is Sound Art, and I’m excited to share
with you an interesting sonic art project called ‘Fathom’, which was
done by Plymouth University and features Martin Audio’s Multi-cellular
Loudspeaker Array (MLA).
It’s fascinating to see how people come up with ways of using sound
as a form of expression, especially in art. With ‘Fathom’, audiences
will be able to immerse themselves in different sonic atmospheres by
simply climbing up and down a few steps on a ladder. In order for the
creators to pull off this project effectively, they had to use the best
audio equipment possible – one that meets their specifications and
requirements – and so sought after Martin Audio’s MLA. Flip to page 42
to find out more about how everything was put together!
Enjoy!
Best regards,

Nur Shakylla Nadhra

ETC Source Four LED CYC on Liolà

‘None can match it’ – Neil Austin, Lighting Designer
When lighting designer Neil Austin was looking to light Liolà at the Lyttelton
Theatre, he wanted to try something new – something that would provide
the same smooth dimming he is used to with traditional tungsten, but with
vibrant, full color.
The ETC Source Four CYC guarantees uniformity of color. Each Source Four LED
profile is calibrated to ensure the same color is achieved year after year.
“The ETC Source Four CYC is a game-changer,” says Austin. “At last there’s
a high-quality, low-energy alternative to the most electricity – and gel-hungry
section of theater lighting.”
“Other LED CYC units can do vivid colors, but none can match the extraordinary
range of color and smooth dimming of the Source Four LED CYC. This is the only
LED unit capable of matching and surpassing the rigorous demands of theater
lighting designers.”

“There is a wide range of features
that make the SlimPAR™ Hex 3 IRC
an indispensable tool for DJs,” said
CHAUVET DJ Product Manager
Allan Reiss. “Thanks to its compact
dimensions and sit flat design, it
works very well as a truss warmer.
The unit’s built-in infrared remote
control capability also makes it very
versatile. Plus its six-in-one LED
technology allows DJs to create
a broad spectrum of customized
colors. It’s fitting that the SlimPAR
Hex 3 IRC was honored with this
award, because the feedback
we’ve gotten from dealers on this
fixture has been so positive.”

hen Ibsenhuset Theatre in Skien, Norway, was
about to undergo a complete refurbishment, the
technical managers looked for new lighting fixtures
and controls that could take the theatre well into the

Selador Desire LED luminaires, along with two different
– but connected – ETC Unison® control systems.

audio companies

hina’s leading AV professionals and specifiers

products from the world’s leading innovators.
InfoComm China 2014 will take place at the China
National Convention Center (CNCC) on 9-11 April
2014 and promises to be even bigger and better
than ever before.

Endorsing its stature as China’s premier pro-AV
event, leading audio brands have already confirmed
their participation in InfoComm China 2014 in
unprecedented numbers. Showcasing the latest
AV technology, IFC provides the multi-billion dollar
industry and its customers with a thriving show
floor where exhibitors can meet and present to the
nation’s leading pro-AV decision makers.

More than 23,000 professionals are expected to

Eight months before InfoComm 2014 and more
than 75% exhibition space sold
The unparalleled support for the 2014 show, from
both regular and new exhibitors, has assured that
this year’s edition of IFC will be the largest ever. For
the first time, InfoComm China 2014 will occupy
all six halls of the CNCC, taking up a total 45,000
square meters of exhibition space. W ith more
than 75% of space already sold and with another
15% reserved by exhibitors, companies wishing to
participate cannot stand on the side lines for much
longer.
Show organiser InfoCommAsia Pte Ltd. feels that
the show has grown from strength to strength since
its inception in 2003. While many industry players
have chosen to stay on the sidelines over the past
editions of the show, the overwhelming response
in the pre-booking for the 2014 show tells a very
different story.

“We are very happy to witness such
strong support from especially
the audio exhibitors, who through
the years have come to recognise
IFC as the best platform for
them to reach out to China’s AV
market, both for the installed as
well as live events sectors,” said
Richard Tan, General Manager of
InfoCommAsia Pte Ltd. “It also
points to the fact that companies
in China are raising their stakes
on the markets. This is not
surprising as China’s AV market
is projected to grow at 20% a
year to be worth some US$ 15.3
billion by 2015 two-thirds
the size of the entire European
market.”
In
China’s
rapidly

audiovisual
industry,
new
possibilities
for
creative
interaction and innovation are
constant.
InfoComm
China
strives to keep abreast of
those evolutions and offers an
outstanding platform for ideas,
growth and innovation.
An excited representative from
Bosch China said: “The AV
industry has witnessed a boom in
recent years with a 20% annual
growth in China alone. Every
sector in the business stands to
benefit from this development.
InfoComm China has provided a
great platform for industry players
to connect and communicate

SONIC ART

FATHOM

A RADICAL SONIC ARTWORK FEATURING MARTIN AUDIO MLA

42

Apr-Jun 2014

COVER STORY

SONIC ART

A

sonic sea level that immerses audiences beneath the ocean
waves – without getting wet – and then allows them to climb
steps to emerge to a different sonic atmosphere has been
unveiled at the launch of a major new cultural festival celebrating
the River Tamar.
Fathom is a new ‘sonic artwork’ by Plymouth University media
arts specialists Jane Grant and Dr. John Matthias. In an attempt
to bring one of the country’s most diverse waterways into sharp
focus they used new generation technology to create an artificial
surface 6ft above the floor of a 17th century Royal Navy victualing
yard. Anyone that understands the challenge in creating two
distinct sonic experiences in the same space will know this is no
small feat — and it is Martin Audio’s award-winning technology
that has made this possible.
The company’s Multi-cellular Loudspeaker Array (MLA), supplied
by RG Jones, with lighting and staging by Pyramid AV, was used
to transmit a combination of live and recorded sounds, enabling
visitors to walk around and hear the sounds below the surface
of the estuary. They were also able to lift their heads above the
‘Fathom’ to hear the sounds above the water.
This commission was the centrepiece of a public event to launch
It’s All About the River, a year-long project to celebrate the
historical, cultural and industrial importance of the River Tamar,
which forms the border between Devon and Cor nwall. This sitespecific art work, utilising the confluence of the River Tamar and
immersing the Old Factory Cooperage at Royal W illiam Yard in
sound, formed part of the two week long Ocean City Festival.
Producer of the event and masterminding the audio production was
experienced sound engineer Simon Honywill, who has lectured for
many years at the nearby Deep Blue Sound and has been a strong
advocate of Martin Audio’s breakthrough technology since it was
launched. Underwater sound recording technology was provided
by Thomas Gordon at VP Marine.

COVER STORY

SONIC ART

Speaking of his involvement in the project, Honywill
said: “Of all the challenges I have had in my career
— and there have been many — it is fitting that my
home town of Plymouth should come up with the most
intriguing, demanding and wholly satisfying piece of
work I can remember.
The city rests between two estuaries, the Plym and
the Tamar, and despite the fact that the Plym gave
up its name to the city, it is the seemingly bottomless
Tamar that is the major waterway, dividing Devon from
Cor nwall. It is now, whilst still a busy waterway, a
common thread for a wide group of artists of many
kinds, and it is art that unexpectedly brought the
Tamar and Martin Audio’s MLA system together.”
The challenge took him on an empirical jour ney into
the unknown, as recordings were made out on the
river by the two artists. “Some were familiar sonic
events, some less so. But how many get to hear them

44

SONIC ART

below the waves?” he asks rhetorically. The recordings
were to be complemented with live input from a pair
of hydrophones, electrical instruments for detecting
or monitoring sound under water, which delivered
a constant picture of the activity down in the deep
throughout an entire weekend.
“The key element of Fathom that John and Jane
wanted to convey was the divide between water and
air, and Jane’s concept was to create a boundary at
1 fathom (6ft 6in) from the floor where visitors to the
piece could climb steps and emerge from the sonic
water into the very different atmosphere above. It was
up to me to find a way of achieving this convincingly.”
He immediately knew that the answer lay in the groundbreaking Martin Audio MLA — designed to accurately
place sound where it is required, and keep it away
from where it is not. “It was the only way I could even
start to generate the kind of sharp cut-off that this

Apr-Jun 2014

45

COVER STORY

SONIC ART

unique project demanded, and the only system I am
aware of that can be programmed to make deep
holes in its coverage.”
The underwater experience would consist of eight
stacks of five MLA in a space 30m x 15m, and the
air experience would be a ring of six Martin Audio
DD6 (Differential Dispersion) speakers on tall stands
in the centre of the space, where listeners would
climb up steps into a stereo soundscape generated
by a pair of DPA 2011 mics rigged over the water
where the live hydrophones were placed.
Simon Honywill admits he had no idea how well this
would work. “I was asking the system to cover no
more than about 7m, tail off rapidly and create a
hole in the coverage at 6ft 6in from the floor. It was
really pushing the envelope — audio quality was not
necessarily high priority but the software said it was
possible.
“I must have tried about 10 different configurations
in Display 2 [Martin Audio’s proprietary software]
before settling on the final one that got rigged. I
only had one chance to get it right too, as budget
constraints meant that I had crew for four hours and
that was it.
Fortunately this approach was successful, as there
was no way I could re-rig 40 MLA enclosures on my
own!”
Andy Davies, Martin Audio Application Support,
concluded: “W ith our advanced multi-cellular
systems, we have introduced a new way of
controlling sound systems. W ith a desire to push
the boundaries and advance the art and science
of sound reinforcement, it was a great honour for
Martin Audio to be involved in this project.”

About the River Tamar Project
The River Tamar Project is a major cultural
partnership, aimed at using the arts as a vehicle
to connect local and inter national communities with
the river. It was initially conceived in 2001, and has
since worked with nationally and inter nationally
renowned
figures
including
engineer
John
Shuttleworth, public art consultant Isabel Vasseur
and artist Adam Chodzko.
Its focus is to explore future uses of the River
Tamar, seeking to inspire new levels of engagement
from the tidal reaches along the rural Devon and
Cor nwall banks to the urban centre of Plymouth
and creating a hive of activity to stimulate social,
cultural and economic development.
The project is supported by a number of
organisations including Plymouth University, Arts
Council England, Cor nwall Council, West Devon
Borough Council, Plymouth City Council, the
Cor nish World Heritage Site, Tamar Valley Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty, National Trust, FEAST
and Creative Skills. For more information, visit www.

London-based projection artist, Ross Ashton,
designed and specified the large format projection
elements of a new permanent immersive multi-media
spectacle in Delhi India, at the Guru Tegh Bahaur
Memorial on the NH1 highway at Singhu Border.
Ashton and Himanshu Sabharwal, his business partner
in TricolorIndia, were commissioned by the Delhi
Tourism & Transportation Development Corporation
(GTDB) to create the piece, for which Sabharwal was
the overall Show Director.
Their brief was to create an visually immersive experience
that had a universal spiritual appeal to people of all
faiths, and that could work harmoniously with the new
age minimalist architecture of the monument.
TricolorIndia delivered the entire technical infrastructure
involved including projection, lighting and audio. Hailed
as the largest installation currently in India, the challenge
was to ensure that the substantial amount of equipment
and engineering involved seamlessly dovetailed into the
beautifully landscaped site.
The looped 20-minute visual show runs every night and is
based on the phrase ‘Hind ki Chadar’ – a popular reference
to the Guru Tegh Bahaur, which energises ‘Kudrat ki Chadar’
the five elements of nature: earth, wind, fire, water and void.
Ashton and Sabharwal came up with a concept that was then
dramatically interpreted for them as the five elements by sarod
maestro and Indian classical music legend, Ustad Ali Khan.

The five elements are represented
by fantastical imagery, starting
with the Void and ending with the
Earth, incorporating a myriad of
potential and interlinking ideas and
suggestions, and including amazing
visuals of flying fish, giant butterflies
and flying kites. All of them were
drawn from the imagination and
magic of Indian mythology.
The massive monument has a central
tower that represents Guru Tegh
Bahadur, with three semi-arches
signifying his three disciples and
ten surrounding monoliths denoting
ten Sikh Gurus disseminating their
teaching. There is a 45 x 45 metre
diameter circular surface at floor
level.
The monument is projected onto
by 16 x Christie 20K Roadster
machines, specified by Ashton
for their robust build, which had
to withstand the climate and
outdoor environment, and excellent
brightness.
Six
machines
are
focused on the floor area and the
other ten cover the five metre wide
panels of the 10 monoliths.
