Halden Wire

Two thousand in a hard-lit room and a band who never stand still. Three songs, no flash, and the selects on the label's server before the crew had the risers down.

Halden Wire tour with a lighting designer who works almost entirely in backlight, which means the first three songs are a fight and the fourth would have been easy. I shot wide from the pit and long from the sound desk, and let the silhouettes stay silhouettes rather than lifting them into mush.

The label needed a set for the tour announce at seven the next morning. Forty-two frames, one levels pass each, uploaded at twenty to six.
