"This was to bring a clean, colorful and stylish look to all the different camera angles but without being too busy, commented Peumans.

The set LED lighting alone consumed 30 DMX universes and was controlled via a grandMA2 console.

The pianos were both on light-box platforms under lit by more DMX controlled LED strips. "This was a simple idea which really worked well in making the pianos central to the action, explained Peumans. "The key was using all the LED sources as highlights and atmospheric enhancers, rather than them becoming distracting or too dominant".

Graphic content for the gaming screens was also programmed by the Painting With Light Team, using Widget Designer technology on their Coolux Pandoras Box media server, which stored the relevant material and the general video content driving all the LED light-sources in the studio. The gaming elements were MIDI triggered via the grandMA2.
