Delivered live audio production for a month-long brand activation during the Paris 2024 Olympics, based out of Villa M — a hotel taken over as the campaign’s home base — alongside a rolling series of pop-up gigs across the city. To mark the opening of the Olympics, a private party was also hosted aboard a boat on the Seine, equipped with a Syva and X8 system alongside SB18 subs to deliver full-scale sound in a compact, mobile setting.
Each pop-up site followed a tight daily turnaround: rigging and system build from 07:00, doors open and first guests arriving by 09:00, with live band performances providing background music as breakfast service rolled in, alongside scheduled speeches and activations throughout the morning. Systems were struck at the end of each day, with the full setup repeated at a new venue the next, maintaining consistent sound quality across dozens of builds despite compressed turnaround times and constantly shifting locations.
At Villa M, a permanent house system was installed and tuned to sit discreetly within the space — an L-Acoustics Syva set paired with X8s, positioned and level-set so as never to intrude on the hotel’s day-to-day guest experience. The rooftop ran a separate, more powerful rig for evening parties: 4x Syva with Syva Lows, SB18 subs, and X8 delays for coverage, plus a wireless headphone system for occasional silent disco nights.
