Club Lighting & Visuals

Project Outline

This project was to create a cohesive environment by bridging the gap between lighting and motion graphics. By routing SACN lighting data and Dante audio feeds into TouchDesigner, I created a system where the visuals and stage lights would share common themes such as colour, intensity, strobe, and movement. Using FFT analysis, I mapped specific audio frequencies to visual parameters, ensuring that every kick drum and lighting cue translated into a singular, synchronised event across the entire venue.

The visual identity was a blend of high-fidelity After Effects assets and real-time generative layers processed through Resolume Arena. To solve for varying staff levels, I built the system with a hybrid architecture, allowing it to run as a fully automated, audio-reactive installation or be operated manually by a dedicated operator. This versatility ensured a personalised, high-energy experience during peak hours while maintaining a consistent big-stage feel when running autonomously.

The final experience was anchored by a massive 2K LED stage wall with a 3.9mm pitch. Running at 120Hz in a 16:9 configuration, the display provided ultra-smooth, crisp motion, and the result was a scalable ecosystem that translated signal data into a high-impact, physical experience.
