This may help: center spine column props split the floor for visual side1/side2 moments. Primarily used in a utilitarian sense to simply hold up the mic cables. Those are live mics on the floor. The breaths and the end of show singing is 100% live, real, on the floor. Now consider that Spine is what the design team (Mike Jackson, Kevin Shah, Adam Watts) calls the third and final chapter of the "Bloom Trilogy". Each show in the trilogy is a checkpoint in ones life, from beginning to end. There are elements that carry over, such as aesthetic, uniform design, solo dancer moments, etc. However, these are three distinct productions within themselves. Bloom - birth, beginnings, discovering consciousness in life Cage - the internal and external barriers that can hold you back in life, trapping you Spine - do you have the backbone to resist and defeat those barriers? The show is not about skeletons or bones.... it's about having backbone, having a spine. Like having courage in life. When life tries to push you down, do you falter or do you have the backbone to push your way back up? Adam Watts samples: "Born under bright lights Hearts beat we're alive Tryin to be kings and queens" "If we're lucky we're raised under love Some of us starve, never get enough Do we carry that weight up" "Hard falls, long nights So few sympathize We stand up, carry on breathing" "We can choose to brave it alone Gain the world while we lose our souls But to save is beautiful" "Lights out, I'm alone with the rush of the blood in my veins. This time no one else around, the hero and the pain." "Will I ever know, can I ever know? If to live I have to die, then I'm ready to go" "Lights out, I'm alone" The closer has a big build, major chord, then battery notes. This is your life's defining moment. Success against all odds. Release. Drumset Tyger kicks in with a fat beat 🔥🤘 Crazy synth flurries. What about life after your defining moment? Autopilot with consciousness. A whirlwind of time. It's different for every person. One year, fifty years... doesn't matter. Visually, mechanical, piston, box drill. This is the representation of living life through autopilot. You have the experience , you know what to do. Just check boxes, dot i's, and cross t's. You go through life with the experience of knowing what is happening because you've already been there. The singers represent the conscience part. Telling their own story. Maybe it's like wisdom being passed down to the next generation. By the way, they're all quotes from Adam Watts earlier in the show. Here come the loppers. You never know when your life is going to end. It could be in a car crash, in your sleep, etc. It could be in the middle of a sente------- The end 👍
velasome that's Adam Watts (a.k.a. Me)... the first part features vocals from my latest album... a song called "Running out of Heroes"... and there's also stuff I wrote/recorded specifically for the show...
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you! This was an amazing production and it has left an amazing impact on our marching friends. Absolutely stunning!
Their snares are stupid clean
I love how the Broken City gradually moves down the screen a bit
i wathced this live it was awesome
Those shots!!!! Incredible
Most lit performance of the night
That ending is like a punch to your throat everytine.
Best snare break since 1987
I don't get it. But I love it!
