AUSTIN, TX – LD Alastair Watson chose High End Systems’ new Shapeshifter automated luminaire for Joe Satriani’s latest tour. The LD first became acquainted with the C1 and W1 via its inital promo clip, saying “I saw the video, you know the one. And then I flew to Austin because I wanted to have a look at it, face to face. I knew immediately that this was a light that was going to add an extra dimension to my show. I will be spec’ing these for some time to come. I would have a space on my plot to use these in any market.”

Every night on Joe Satriani’s latest tour, the guitar genius continued to refine the art of lead guitar with new licks, tricks, effects and pure mojo. Similarly, lighting designer Alastair Watson chose High End Systems’ new SHAPESHIFTER automated luminaire – along with a bevy of other HES gear – to help bring his visual voodoo to Joe’s stage. Watson says, “We had 12 C1 SHAPESHIFTERs and six of the W1 SHAPESHIFTERs; we also used six intellaspots. At FOH we had a Barco FLM HD20 and an Axon HD media server, control was a Hog 4 Full Boar with Playback wing. All HES control all the time!
