Bohemian Rainbow Concert Sound Reinforcement

Rainbow_soundpass.jpgThe Bohemian Rainbow Concert was held on the 2nd of June 2006 in Olympus Stage at 20:00hrs. It featured a talented array of young musicians along with some impressive guest performers.

The master sound was tuned one day prior in the morning leaving the rest of the day and night for the bands’ sound checks. As many individual artistes and different line-ups performed, a sound check had to be done for all. Some extra time was spent on giving newer artistes to get accustomed to the acoustics of the venue.

They approached me to engineer the sound. They rented the gear from Island Music and Hambe hooked up the system. The live in-house audience had a capacity of 500 pax.

Played for FASY LIVE

FASY_performer_pass.jpgFaseeh called me sometime in the November of 2005 and asked me if I could play some bass for him for his up coming concert. Initially, I was reluctant as I have been very out of touch as I haven’t played my bass regularly for a very long time – something like 6 years or so. However, after some discussion, he persuaded me into it. With some further discussion as for the timing of the concert, we set the date for 16th February 2006 some time in November 2005.

MUSICinMALDIVES.com

MUSICinMALDIVES.com was test launched on 20th November 2005. Initially I started this as an experiment, not sure if it would attract any attention and planned myself to tune up the site at my own pace. I did initially mention about this to about ten friends. Within the next fourteen days, I was awstruck when I found out that more than thirty users have registered on this site! This meant to me that I had hit on something that there was a lot of demand for. But I did not know what it was.

Hilton Opening: Sound & Lights

While I was on a semester break – due to the smog in South-East Asia, I came across an interesting project – Hilton Maldives’ (at Rangali Island) opening ceremony.

Via a mutual I came into contact with Edgar, who was the F&B Manager there. Hilton had planned a very visual and exciting opening ceremony but had problems sourcing resources and professional services to be subcontracted. One such area was the sound reinforcement for the opening ceremony. Continue reading “Hilton Opening: Sound & Lights”

Dhoni Show: Sound reinforcement

Dhoni Show’s sound reinforcement needs were comparatively complex compared to the regular shows held in Male’, Maldives, at that time. Perhaps this was the first show aligned with the concept of the album (also titled ‘Dhoni’ by Zero Degree Atoll). The performance also included theatrical elements.
