Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats has embarked on a large-scale tour across Europe, following sell-out seasons at the London Palladium. Rather than touring traditional theatre venues, the tour takes in significantly larger arenas, which typically pose challenges for sound designers wanting to recreate the intricacies and detail of high-profile musical theatre productions.

With audio production supplied by Autograph Sound, sound designer Greg Pink turned to KV2 Audio loudspeakers: ‘The system looks ridiculously small in the venues, but the clarity and coverage are phenomenal. The dynamic range of the system allows us to run the system louder, if needed, without the risk of distortion.

AVC Group supplied the Lawo equipment.

The van was delivered in April 2021, has since been involved in several prominent productions.

Criteria installs SSL Origin

Criteria Studios' new SSL Origin in Studio D

Regarded by many as among the most successful recording studios in the United States, Criteria Studios has renovated and upgraded its Studio D, installing an SSL Origin  mixing console with an SSL UF8 DAW controller and 500 Series dynamics modules.

Founded by jazz trumpeter Mack Emerman in 1958, Criteria has consistently been the first studio in the region to adopt new record production technologies. The facility has also had a long relationship with Solid State Logic, installing its first desk – and the first SSL in Florida – in 1984, with a second SSL following two years later. The complex currently houses two SSL 9096J consoles in Studios A and E, an Duality in Studio F and an AWS 900 in Studio B in addition to the Origin.

‘The studio is owned by Universal Music, which worked with Dolby from the outset and was the earliest company to begin mixing music across all genres and catalogues in the format,’ explains Studio Manager, Anthony Garvin. ‘So it made sense for us to be kitted out as a go-to destination for Atmos music mixing in Australia.’

Known for his avant-garde theatre works, US director Robert Wilson has created an immersive sound installation at the Sainte-Chapelle church in the heart of Paris.

The work, Gloria, marks half a century since Wilson’s Le Regard du Sourd in Nancy (1971) and the first Autumn Festival in Paris (1972). ‘We have a policy of inviting contemporary artists because heritage and creation must work together,’ says Philippe Bélaval, President of the Centre des Monuments Nationaux. ‘We felt that Bob’s perception of space, his mastery of sound and light could bring a lot to a monument.’
