Technical Rider for Solo Voice & Electronics Concert (without video)

for other riders, please click the links above

Pamela Z’s technical needs vary depending on the venue and the program being performed. For most engagements (basic solo voice & electronics concerts), she will require sound reinforcement as detailed below. For more technically complex productions (i.e. large-scale, theatrical, multi-media performance works) she may require additional lighting and audio/visual equipment and operators and additional load-in/set-up and tech time. Technical riders for specific works are available upon request.

Time:

For a basic solo voice & electronics concert:

30 minutes for load-in and set-up

45-60 minutes for sound-check and tech

 

Equipment:

Pamela provides her own:

  • microphones – Neumann KMS 105 and DPS headset mic with Sennheiser wireless transmitter and receiver.
  • 1 Apple computer (Mac Book Pro) w/ MAX MSP  software.
  • various gesture activated MIDI controller(s)
  • Apogee Duet or MOTU Ultralite audio interface.
  • internal cabling for all these devices

To be provided by the venue or presenter:

  • a sound engineer familiar with the in-house equipment.
  • a stereo PA system with 2 available inputs (a stereo pair). *
  • a snake or a pair of cables to reach from the performing area to sound board.
  • direct boxes (DIs) will be needed if your inputs are XLR (PZ’s outputs are 1/4 inch).
  • at the board, PZ’s two channels should be panned hard left and hard right.
  • if possible, speakers should be downstage of the performer or angled so that they do not feedback into the performer’s microphone due to heightened feedback problems associated with live processing.
  • adequate monitoring (in some houses, the sound from the mains might suffice.)
  • grounded AC power on or near the stage.
  • a microphone stand (tri-pod style preferred) with boom.

Also helpful:

  • drinking water
  • adequately lit dressing area with mirror
  • a secure place for storing personal effects
  • NOTE: Pamela prefers to work in a smoke-free environment.

*(PZ can also work in multiple audio channels, if the venue is configured to support that, in cases where this has been discussed and agreed upon in advance.)
