Pol’and’Rock Festival 2024 | Pre-programmed with Depence

Green Beam Design from Poland have already proven that they know how to realize some of the most spectacular show productions of the country. To achieve their goals, they have been relying on Syncronorm’s multimedia show design & visualization software Depence for quite some time, which enables the team to pre-visualize and plan even the most extensive productions. So, what belongs together comes together, and Green Beam Design, with the help of Depence, realized one of its most ambitious projects in terms of lighting design. They are particularly proud to be part of one of the most important music events in Poland: Pol’and’Rock Festival 2024.

Under the motto “Love, Friendship and Music”, the festival has been held annually in western Poland since 1995 (although under another name), with the highest number of visitors being a staggering 750,000 people. The team at Green Beam used the latest version of the Depence system to make the lighting design unique for this already bombastic project. The unforgettable atmosphere of the festival, which took place in Kostrzyn nad Odra, attracted and captivated several hundred thousand fans and truly left its mark.

“A key element of this project was the use of the advanced Depence visualization tool from Syncronorm. Thanks to it, we were able to precisely plan and prepare every aspect of the stage lighting, which was crucial for creating dynamic and coherent visual effects that emphasized the energy of the festival.”

Green Beam thereby used two Depence licenses in the pre-programming phase, which allowed them to perfectly reproduce the intended lighting effects, as well as to perfectly synchronize the show with the music and atmosphere of the festival. The lighting was done by designer Jacek Chojczak, who once again proved the quality of his shows. In turn, Tomasz Szwelicki was responsible for the pre-programming as he also implemented all artistic assumptions of the project with maximum precision. In implementing the lighting, Green Beam used a wide range of equipment, which allowed them to achieve impressive visual effects. In total, the team used 35,758 parameters in the project, which were controlled by using multiple GrandMA3 consoles.

“The precision and technological advancement provided by Depence allowed us to perfectly match each lighting element, which created an unforgettable live show. Pol'and'Rock Festival 2024 was another milestone in our work for us [...]. Thanks to advanced technological solutions from Syncronorm and our passion for creating unique visual experiences, we were able to provide the audience with unforgettable impressions.”
