Leaning on a love for live music and visual art we thrive to make every show an experience that fans won't forget through what is created within our state of the art studio. We like to think the designs and programming we embark on ties directly to the roots of the music and concepts that the artists and composers we work with have poured their hearts into. These are the fuels that feed the creative furnace.
We think out side of the box when it comes to creating interesting designs and programming techniques. Congo181 takes pride in creating unique designs, lighting programming and content production for each show. We know the integrity in identifying the projects aura before we build individualised visual content and designs that encapsulates the roots of the artist's body of work. This for us is what underpins every shows creative foundation.
Our studio is located in Adelaide, South Australia. This space is where the concept of shows and events can be brought to life. To create these visual experiences with lasting memories we call on a wide range of technology to achieve the unthinkable. The custom built visualisation studio is tailored for the pre-visualisation and programming of large scale shows and events. The studio is attached to a production house, AJS Lighting Sound Events. This allows for easy hire of additional items such as consoles, and fixtures. AJS is a ROBE, MARTIN, VARI-LITE, GLP, MA and HIGH END SYSTEMS stockist.
Congo181 works collaboratively with Mapped, AJS, Colourblind, and Harsh Realities to design and program events across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
