Myriad Live Tour
This tour’s concert stage backdrop design remains one of the most unique and striking applications ever achieved using the AV Drop Modular Backdrop System. It demonstrates the full creative and technical potential of our modular solution.
The show first premiered at Park Avenue Armory in New York for the Red Bull Music Academy Festival. From there, the project evolved as the concert stage backdrop was reconfigured multiple times and taken on tour globally, adapting to different venues and show formats.
Concert Stage Backdrop with Projection Mapping
The core design concept revolved around the integration of modular geometric structures with real-time projection mapping, enabling a highly flexible and visually powerful stage setup.
For this production, angular shapes were suspended using the AV Drop structure and positioned at the very center of the stage, directly behind the artists, forming a bold sculptural backdrop that broke away from the conventions of traditional flat-wall stage design. Building on this striking geometry, live projection mapping was applied across the surfaces, enveloping the shapes in dynamic, shifting visuals that transformed the installation into an immersive sensory experience for the audience.
Collaboration and technical expertise played a crucial role in bringing this ambitious visual concept to life. Our U.S. distributor, DrapeKings, was commissioned to assemble and realize the custom concert stage backdrop, drawing on their extensive experience with AV Drop installations. The live visual projection system was developed by Dave+Gabe, an interactive installation studio that built the software engine powering the projection mapping. Working closely with creative director and visual artist Nate Boyce, they designed a system that allowed him to perform the visuals live using a hardware controller, ensuring that every moment of the show was dynamic, responsive, and artistically driven.
Why AV Drop was the Perfect Fit
The AV Drop system is engineered around modular aluminum frames paired with hook-and-loop fabric skins, allowing for tool-free assembly, rapid setup and teardown, easy transportation, and full reusability from one event to the next. Its modularity and flexibility make it highly adaptable to a wide range of shapes, sizes, angles, and custom configurations, qualities that make it particularly suited for ambitious stage design projects like this concert stage backdrop.
This project demonstrates how AV Drop goes far beyond the limitations of traditional flat backdrops or simple projection screens. By merging architectural structure with modular adaptability and advanced live-visual technology, it becomes possible to create environments that are both functionally reliable and visually captivating.
For teams looking to push creative boundaries – whether for immersive concerts, experiential installations, or standout brand activations – AV Drop provides the ideal platform to bring bold ideas to life.
