Independent lighting designer Joel Reiff has tapped 28 Ayrton Domino Profiles as his “workhorse” fixture for Counting Crows’ 56-date summer tour across North America, which he programmed on a GrandMA3 console.

 

The band, with guests Dashboard Confessional, kicked off their “Banshee Season Tour” in June in Omaha and will wrap with a show at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado on September 25. Upstaging provided the Dominos and GrandMA3 consoles for the tour.

 

“As my spot fixtures the Dominos get the brunt of the looks and take the majority of the punch”, says Aiken, South Carolina-based Reiff. “Eight are on the downstage for key lighting with the rest mid- and upstage to light the stage.” The “Banshee Season Tour” marks his first time using Dominos. “Upstaging introduced me to the fixture”, he notes. John Bahnick, Rich Locklin and Tony Thompson were his chief contacts at the vendor.

 

Reiff is a longtime GrandMA user and has a pair of GrandMA3 light consoles on the tour as active and back up systems. He programmed the show’s lighting and Sceptron video elements on a GrandMA3 light.
