Pawel Pajak chooses Ayrton for Dawid Podsiadlo stadium shows

Creative visual director, lighting and multimedia designer Pawel “Spider” Pajak, of Percepto, incorporated a wealth of Ayrton’s latest lighting products into singer-songwriter Dawid Podsiadlo’s three sold-out stadium shows in Poland, which included a record-breaking attendance at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzow. Podsiadlo is one of Poland’s biggest touring artists with whom Pajak has worked for the past ten years.

Pajak chose the latest Ayrton IP65 rated fixtures including 68 Perseo Profile, 21 Domino Profile and 46 of the new Cobra laser-sourced fixtures. The remainder of his rig consisted of 24 Ayrton Huracan Profile fixtures which were sited under the protection of the stage roof.

Already familiar with Perseo Profile, Pajak chose to embed the fixtures in eight LED screens fixed to eight overhead moving clusters. Another group was dedicated to a large trapeze shape truss that framed the moving clusters and was also used as a moving set element.

The Domino Profile fixtures were employed mostly as front lights and key lights on the singers and soloists. The newly released Cobra fixtures were a late addition to the Podsiadlo shows and used on each of the left and right wings flanking the IMAG screens, and upstage as floor lights behind the band risers. The Podsiadlo shows marked the first use of Cobra in Poland and Pajak’s first opportunity to put them into action.

The combination of Perseo, Domino and Cobra proved so successful that Pajak specified them as a lighting package which he used continually for the Summer 2022 festival season. The festival package saw an increase in the number of fixtures to over 100 Perseo Profiles which, along with the Cobra, Domino LT and Domino Profile fixtures, withstood the heat, dust, wind, full sun and rain of a busy Polish summer season.

The Ayrton fixtures were supplied by Polish rental company Wizja Multimedia, which purchased the Cobra units specifically for the Dawid Podsiadlo show from Ayrton’s exclusive distributor for Poland, Lunatec Sp. z o.o.
