SJ Grevett Energized M-Shaped MOBO Awards Rig With CHAUVET Professional and DMX Productions

Stuck smack in the middle of the alphabet, the letter “M” has a bit of an identity crisis. Being the 13th letter, it’s sometimes associated with bad luck. Palm readers say it portends danger when it’s formed by the lines in your writing hand. On the other hand, though, it’s also a sign of wealth, being used as a symbol for money; not to mention that marketers regard it as one of the most visually pleasing letters, the only one in the alphabet to have a candy (M&M) named after it.Read More »SJ Grevett Energized M-Shaped MOBO Awards Rig With CHAUVET Professional and DMX Productions

Clifford Michael Spulock Reflects Kol Esperanza’s Voices of Hope with CHAUVET Professional

“Hope spreads the seeds of beauty,” or so an ancient adage goes. The words are an apt metaphor for a recent concert by Kol Esperanza at the Spanish River Church located in Boca Raton, FL. The name of this Israeli trio of tenors translates into “voices of hope;” and hope did indeed resonate throughout the venue as the trio, joined by guest artists, and backed by an orchestra, performed a far-reaching variety of songs, ranging from Disney medleys to Jewish folk classics, and Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”. Bringing added beauty to this uplifting performance was a Clifford Michael Spulock lighting design that reflected the spirit of each song with an elegantly balanced mix of colors.Read More »Clifford Michael Spulock Reflects Kol Esperanza’s Voices of Hope with CHAUVET Professional
