Design Details

Unique Properties: In response to the theme of this concert, "Heaven & Dirt", the stage design transformed "Round Sky and Square Earth" into a physical symbol, using a huge circular lighting structure which spans over the heads of the audience to form the main space on the top, and moving rectangular LED screens to depict the ground to achieve the effect that the artists can be visually covered by the video. The focus is on how to give the audience an impressive yet simple and powerful visual experience.
Inspiration: The concert theme "Heaven & Dirt" is describing how we would spend our time when we have different encounters on the journey of life. The "Round Sky and Square Earth" is the first human imagination of the world. Although it was eventually proved to be a fallacy, it is a testimony to mankind's repeated experiments and explorations, and their desire to validate their own worldview. This spirit echoes the perspective of life in the songs, and is the basis for the design concept of the concert.
Research: Water inspired Deca Joins' lyrics. Therefore, we used the songs Bathroom, Fog, Heavy Rain and Waves as the skeleton of the concert. The show starts with a strong ensemble sound, aiming to give the audience an uplifting impact. At the same time, the huge LED across the stage was raised to show the band up. The circular lighting structure comes down in an attempt to change the spatial sense of the stage from spacious to cohesive at the song "Nighttime Monologues". At the end, song "B1" combines the imaginations of the band members with a surreal visual style, jumping into another level of visual expression.
Challenge: deca joins’ music can be categorized in today's market as non-mainstream, artistic and poetic. Therefore, the aesthetic design and presentation of this concert is different from a typical one. For example, the band preferred to use the light of the overall environment to convey the mood of the music at the moment rather than using follow light on their face. So we let the music lead the way, and matching it with the videos and lighting to present a poetic negative space.
Realization and Technology: The LED was chosen to have a slit style, which gives a see-through effect. This feature was utilized in the opening, where the visual overlap between the front & back of the screen wrapped around the band, making their silhouettes invisible behind the screen, and arousing the audience's curiosity. The circle truss on the top is equipped with TB1230 and can move up & down. By utilizing different heights and angles, the light structure becomes an art installation with variations and appreciation.
Operation and Interaction: We hope that every audience will have something to take away from the show, whether it's the visual experience or the music itself. Because deca joins' music is characterized by unimaginable arranging details, and in order to allow the audience to concentrate more on immersing themselves in a pure musical experience, we put the music first when integrating all the designs, trying to eliminate the essentials, making everything more comprehensible and touch the audience’s heart directly.
Project Duration and Location: The concert was held on February 23 & 24 2024 in Taipei.
Specifications: Under the constraints of the scale of the venue and technical regulations, the LED has been enlarged as much as possible to a width of 22 meters to achieve the ultimate visual envelopment effect. The arc shape truss is based on the existing product size planning and design in Taiwan, and as far as possible to meet the conditions of the diameter and the stage LED the same width, and then according to the venue configuration of the rigging point to the construction.
