The venue’s lighting rig is also being overhauled especially for this event and a dedicated team from City College Plymouth will be controlling this system throughout the evening.

Using a selection of cutting edge synthesis, sampling, digital signal processing and control technologies, the students have been preparing for weeks to create a selection of completely original compositions, which will all be performed 100% live”
The performers will be also supported by students from dBs Music’s Live Sound degree.
