An immense Phoenix
spread its wings on the beach of the Red Rocks of Arbatax, in Sardinia: it is
here that mythology has merged with the lighting technology in the heart of one
of the most charming landscapes of Italy. The Red Rocks have a very
close relationship with the great music, having already hosted the likes of
Patti Smith, Lou Reed and Eric Clapton.
In Arbatax, the Phoenix does not rise
from its ashes, but expresses its special relationship with the sun, which
enhances this wonderful place, giving beautiful reflections to the red of its
rocks and the emerald sea.
But at Red Rocks, the
majestic Phoenix (16
meters high by 35 wide) is first of all the
extraordinary setting of the Red Valley Festival: a giant DJ set which took
place over two nights, on 5 and 6 August, with the participation of Italian and
international DJs and the two world-renowned guest stars Steve Aoki and Deorro.
When the glaring sun gave way
to dusk, 110 D.T.S. fixtures – installed by the rental company ‘I desideri’ –
highlighted with bright colors the artistically stylized feathers of the
mythological bird, and enhanced the performances of the DJs.
40 x RAPTOR moving heads and
24 x blinders FLASH 4000 L
have been installed around the Phoenix outline.
12 x XR300
BEAM moving heads were placed on the ground.
34 x FOS 100 SOLO FC LED bars
have colored the impressive scenery.
