Technical Information
:
Each Thermal Chant is a creation that takes into consideration different
parameters: the nature of the event and of the public, characteristics
of the site, probable weather conditions, etc…. A visit to the site is
thus imperative. The technical conditions (and financial) depend on the
final choices for each event.
General characteristics
The Event :
The events are to occur at night.
During the daylight, a performance is possible if it is held inside a
large area: a large factory, a grotto, or in some kind of dark
“inflammable” area which could house the Fire Organ with the utmost of
security precautions. Good acoustics is not imperative.
A joint venture with choirs, musicians and local artists can be
envisioned on the condition that there is a plan and an artistic goal.
If this is to be the case, it is necessary to have a minimum of two days
of rehearsals, on site.
Basic Team Needed :
5 people
- 4 musicians to play the Thermal Instruments
- 1 sound engineer
General Technical Information :
The Fire Organ is made of, in fact, a grouping of five, separate
metallique structures, supported by roughly 200 stainless (inox) tubes
as well as titanium and glass of different lengths and different
dimensions.
Volume Transported: 15 M3 (metric cube) – depending on the variance of
each installation
Weight: 1800 KG -depending on the variance of each installation
Recommended Staging:
- Façade: 30 meters
- Depth: 8 meters
- Height: 2 meters
- Background Clearance: 4 meters
Amount of time of set-up on the stage (including the sound set-up):
Stage Installation: 9 hours
Time to break-down the stage: 4 hours
Electic feed needed for the Event, on average:
Lights: a minimum to supplement the light from the Event (lighting, by a
fire of wood)
Sound: 16 amperes per phase + grounding + neutral around the border of
the stage, with a protective electrical cabinet. (This feed must
imperatively be separate).
4 people must be available for the organizer to disassemble and reload
our vehicles at the scene, immediately following the Event.
Sound :
The sound specifications depend on our technical information schema
which we draw up for each Event. The Fire Organ generates a level of
bass frequencies up to 40 hertz, continuously, and in power: A sound
system adapted to our needs, with big broadcasting (sound projection)
capabilities, including serious reinforcements, are absolutely necessary.
Financial conditions :
From the time that the details of the Event have been worked out in all
its detail, (technically and artistically), a detailed proposal will be
sent to the organizers.
This proposal will include the charge for the transport, the set-up of
the stage, pay for the help for the unloading and loading of the
equipment, all expenses of our team (room and board) at the site.
