Hayden Borgars - The Musicality of Lighting Fixtures
“I am part of light, and it is the music,” wrote Nickola Tesla, who once likened a single lightning bolt to a sonata. All lighting designers would likely agree, attuned, as they are, to hearing the transformative sound made by infinite photons every night on stage. Inspired by this magical harmony, Hayden Borgars strives to treat his lighting fixtures as musical instruments.
The London-based Knights of Illumination nominated designer, follows a “symphonic” approach to lighting shows, intent not only to follow the music, but also, whenever possible, to match it note for note, so each pixel mapped effect is synced to a drum beat or keyboard stroke.
A devotee of Chiaroscuro design, Borgars also coxes musicality out of dark spaces and shadows. He has followed this philosophy to stunning effect for The Ghost Inside, Mimi Webb, Fever 333, Spiritbox, Hoodie Allen, Kurt Vile, Gang Of Youths, Scarlxrd, Wargasm, and more recently on Creeper’s Sacred Blasphemy UK tour. - Chauvet Professional The Musicality of Lighting Fixtures
With an O-1 Visa, Hayden is available to tour both within the UK/EU and the US for the next 3 years. Trained in various design softwares such as WYSIWYG, AutoCAD & Vectorworks Hayden can produce visualisations to present and demonstrate how the show design would look to clients. Hayden also owns his own Avolites Consoles to pre-program and tour with.
