CirqueTech – KÀ SoundScape (Part 1 of 2)

I was poking around the Internet for the odd fact about KÀ the other day and came across a nice list of sound equipment for Cirque du Soleil’s KÀ at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. As I began browsing the article it came as no surprise that it was one from LiveDesign Magazine. They also have fabulous articles reviewing the many techincal aspects of live, creative performances. Therefore, in this installment of CirqueTech, I’m gonig to take a moment to highlight the equipment list (in two parts) they published that allows us to hear from the depths of KÀ’s abyss. And if you’re interested in reading the full article – and I highly recommend you do – you can do so at the following URL: < http://livedesignonline.com/venues/show_business_abyss/index.html >
