GREASY  CAFE

                                                           

-Apichai Tragoolpadetgrai is a lead singer, story teller and a writer. He express his music through his journey in life talking about the dark side of human relationships. Mainly his song are telling the truth in human being also giving the sense of fragment broken.

COLOR                 - different side of human
                                   -emotion , mood , feeling

LINES                     - fluid untouchable , different understanding in song and mood


SHIFTING             - changing moment in life , positive and negative , expressing the hierarchy in human society

 Catagorize into 5 mood/stage
-inner circle express the mood in each album
-middle showing the mood of each song

 PROCESS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE IDEA OF THE STAGE

                    IDEA -  GRID - FRAGMENT - FLUID FORM - MOVEMENT - LIGHT
       ARTIST - AUDIENCE - LIGHT - MOOD - RHYTHM - SPEE

CONCERT - STAGE - DISTANCE - VOLUME - LIGHT

After all the experiment i conclude all the topic into one final overall concept which include
- playing with perspective  
-depth
-movement/circulation
-reflect human being / hierarchy 

The building divide into 2 stands/areas 
- concert stage and public area

Concert stage

-they will be 3 different entry for the audience

-each level giving different lighting , movement , eye vision

-the stage letting your eye focusing on the edge where the artist perfome

-sometimes the artist disappear , making you loose your focus

  

Each area letting the audience experience different mood / tone / emotions using the lighting system and sound system 

at last the building itself isn't a building or a concert stage it is an achievement and goals that you need to complete and overcome to the highest levels. In other hands the artist is embracing you in every ways.

WAVES: STEVE REICH - ALINEATE

Sine Steve Reich has a plenty of concert tour, mostly in United States and Europe. A container ship was rebuilt to use as a moving stage along the coast lines around the world. The 3 different performances of The Cave: Technical, Come out: Physical, and Sextet: Pure instruments. 

 

The project is designed the audience are able to see all the performances while  stay at the same spot throughout the show, only stages move to serve the audience. Circulation of the space start from the back of the ship flow through spread stages to the main stand seat at the front of the ship. Each stage moving to serve the audience by 3 cranes. The sequences of the stages start from left to right respectively.

The three stages create different atmosphere. Stage plot is changed differently along each performance, each show produce attractive movement as are shown in the diagrams, view from top. The performance are not only from three performances, the crane moving along the rail also demonstrate as a part of the performance to the audience on the ship and people at the coast side or river side.  

WAVES PROJECT : TAME IMPALA

TAME IMAPALA

WAVES PROJECT

We’re aimed to design the pop-up stage as a device directly to the chosen artist , 

in order to create a new experience and respond to the identity of the style. 

The chosen artist is Tame Impala leaded by Kevin Parker, the indy  Australian band. They are well-known in the style of popular psychedelic rock which influenced by a variety of genre such as pop, rock, traditional psychedelic, and such. Originally, this genre was created in India and to support the experience in drug using, but Tame Impala re-arrange the music to easier listening and meaningful. The main factor of Tame Impala as you see in the video is the relationship between sound and visual. The audience will disconnect to the reality wherever they play and experience in another world implicitly by these effect.

So the main concept of generate the device tour is to support the effect of relationship between hearing and visual.  From the graphic of latest album’s cover, I interpreted that the current is a reality or the visual in reality, when the song come distract the current, the reality become distorted and change to another story.

The storyboard portrays the initial idea about people will be get lost in the device and distorted the reality in to the world by device-made. 

There are 3 main space in the project, the exterior, transition, and interior part.

They will see the giant scale of monolith in a sense of simplicity, still, geometric, and formidable. The still facade will be gradually move by the current of the wind to make people feel the contrast the feeling of dynamic in geometric-shape facade. The performance will be exposed in 2 levels, one is the stage that expose to outside and get people know there is concert in the device-tour and the PA system dancing. The second is the performance that expose to inside.

Once the audience get inside, there is a transition between the space which is the middle of exterior and interior skin. People can access to the concert hall directly on first floor, or go up-stair and observe the concert in other floors. There are some technical access that will be presented in section drawing in the next phase.

The model portrays the space inside intentionally. Also the material in each element in the space both outside and inside.

WAVES presents CALYPSO BEACH TOUR with NORTHEAST PARTY HOUSE

       POSTER 

          The studio is aimed to design artist-specific and moveable performance architerctures, starting from the study and analysis of the music and personality of one particular artist.

         For my selected performer is Northeast Party HouseThis band are a six piece alternative dance rock band fromMelbourne, Australia. In early 2010 the band began playing from neigborhood backyard and move toward warehouse parties, local venues and quickly gained a following based on their reputation for delivering high energy live shows. Moreover, the freshness of performing live is outstanding and gravitate friends, neigborhoods and stanger to be a part of their parties.

  PLAN & SECTION

        Plan & Section illustrate the variety of space with given the different typology of spaces, mood, atmosphere, hierarchy and activity with both audience and performer has performed in different ways. The drawings also guide audience to understanding the complexity of massive structure and connectivity. More over, the setlists of performer has illustrated through the drawing as a sequence from song to song, stage to stage go along with the massive performing machine

                                                                                                                                                          

EXTERIOR

INTERIOR

          In this design project, A very huge massive on tour device for this performer is aim to merge all the typology of different venues to provide variety of spaces, mood, tone, frequency and importantly the freshness of perceiving live shows in different perspective and atmosphere. An audience become member of the band, massive architectural structure become a stage with gravitate all the element, object, physical and non-physical tools following the original background context of the performer.
