Edirol VJ News: festival-goers rate top-quality visuals as highly as
the music! Good job EDIROL VJ equipment was one thing you could rely
on at this year’s festivals…
This summer may have been a washout on the weather front, but it’s
been an unparalleled year for festivals with practically every single
one sold out months in advance. From the biggest ever Glastonbury to
the smallest backyard gatherings, festival fever has truly swept the
nation.
And with so much great music to be enjoyed al fresco, it is only
natural that state-of-the-art visuals should accompany the spectacle.
We do, after all, live in the age of multi-media.
So it comes as little surprise, then, that 2007 has been the year of
the VJ, a year that sees these creators of stunning visual backdrops
take their rightful place alongside the DJ as the focal point of the
festivities.
It is a trend that is welcomed not only by festival-goers throughout
the UK, but worldwide. But why should 2007 have made such a
difference? Simple – it has never been easier to get a pro-quality VJ
set-up together. Sure, there are all manner of funky software
solutions available, but for those in the know only hardware is up to
the rigours of the live circuit. And although many companies offer
hardware solutions, only one company is bucking the trend when it
comes to pro features with an affordable price-tag: Edirol.
Not only do professional VJs rely on Edirol gear, they insist on it.
Which is exactly why Edirol VJ gear has been a major factor in every
major UK festival this summer. Whether mud-bathing at Glastonbury’s
Dance Tent or gurning at Global gathering, lounging at The Big Chill
or simply kicking it at Brighton’s Loop Festival, Edirol will more
often than not be taking care of the visuals.
From award-winning shaped multi-screen supremos Inside-Us-All to The
Big Chill’s VJ Amukidi, and from the legendary VJamm Allstars to
revolutionary visual renegade Steve G, the professionals choose Edirol.
So while you might not have been able to rely on the weather this
year, 2007 will be remembered for the VJs and the equipment that
lifted the festival experience to previously unseen heights.
