Electronic music artist Bassnectar, known for his live performances and light shows, was recently out on a North American "VaVaVoom" tour beneath a Christie-supplied Martin Professional rig designed by Michael Smalley.
Michael, who handled lighting and video design and lighting operation on the tour, made a decision early on in the design process to minimize the amount of LED fixtures. Despite that, he found it impossible to stay away from the MAC Aura.
