Stage Lighting and Music

Whether it's large-scale concerts, variety shows, or various celebrations, stage lighting is used to enhance the atmosphere and create a better live effect with the concept of music expression. Lighting plays a very important role, and there are many types of stage lighting fixtures nowadays, such as traditional tube lights, return lights, and spotlights. The functional lights include computer scanning lights, color changing lights, moving head lights, as well as sky roses, laser lights, and so on. Faced with such a complex variety of lighting fixtures, how can stage lighting engineers reasonably use these to arrange a beautiful lighting effect? First of all, it is only necessary to think about the effect in order to end it. Assuming it is not possible, there is no need to talk about the end. The foundation of imagination is the understanding of music. Since music is the basis and intention of the lighting scheme, that is, the lighting effect is to create a very good atmosphere and express musical concepts, let's talk about how to use lighting to express and enhance music. The mood of music is chosen based on the tone of stage lighting, as the mood of music is colored. For example, warm stage lighting can be used to express inner passion, such as red, yellow, etc., while melodious music can be played with cool blue tones.

This is easy to understand, that is, the synesthesia of art, the expression of the same thing, different types of art are only different in expression methods, but the feelings expressed are the same. With an understanding and mastery of the musical mood, we can first determine the general tone of stage lighting, and what kind of music uses what kind of tone and color of light. The rhythm of music should be chosen to match the rhythm of lights, which is what we often refer to as the combination of lights and music. So, how can we coordinate in detail? It is important to understand whether the rhythm of the music is four beats, three beats, or eight or six beats, and to understand the strong and weak beats between them. Different colors of light and the intensity of light can be used to match the rhythm of the music. If the music speed is fast, the lighting does not need to match every beat and can ignore the weak beats, only reflecting the strong beats. The rest of the music can be expressed using dark fields. We can use changes in the duration, intensity, color, and type of lights to represent variations in the length, intensity, pitch, and timbre of musical notes. The selection of music construction and the construction of lights. We divide the construction of lights into physical and non physical constructions. Stage lighting engineers often divide tube lights, return lights, computer lights, and color changing lights into several levels of equipment in different combinations to form the three-dimensional spatial effect of lights. This is the physical construction of lighting (spatial construction).
