This week on “The Tie-In,” Zena and Mark join the music revolution led by CEO of “Showpower,” Paul Schurink. That’s right, the sustainable source behind “Coldplay” is back, and he has even more insight on how he makes such huge shows battery efficient and safe. His team is knowledgeable, resourceful, and well-researched. They tackle each problem with a can do attitude, and this change in behavior is one we all should consider. There’s no one method of achieving sustainability or one particular size of live show that can be sustainable. Considering size and budget are important, and there are plenty of folks who will push back on big ideas. However, it’s all in the approach, and if we educate the public, they’ll discover how it isn’t more work or more expensive. It’s simply the future, and “Showpower” is lighting (and micing) the future.

Your next stop should be their website, because there is so much still to come from these proud tech nerds: https://www.showpower.com/our-story/

This week on “The Tie-In,” Zena and Mark are learning how to foster crew well-being with Production Designer, Hans Dayal! He’s worked on several Netflix properties, including “Virgin River,” and he’s here to tell you, there’s no master plan. He views productions as a great laboratory for experimenting with different sustainable practices. There’s no one way to do it, and innovative tech can always come out and change the game. It’s all about having the right mind set, like thinking about how much cable your crew members have to run in the dead of a snowy night, and strategizing about a more efficient, battery-powered, alternative. That’s one example of many situations where one can benefit from adopting Hans Dayal’s line of thinking, and we think his words on the future of production efficiency are beautiful.

Before you listen to this episode, “the Tie-In” team would like to tie you in to a few items.

• We highly recommend you head on over to our YouTube channel for this episode. In the YT version, you’ll get to see Paul show off his company’s innovative tech. You’ll need all your senses activated for this one. Please like and subscribe: https://youtube.com/@the-tie-in?si=MrTTuQct_Y9AKFDu
• Speaking of senses, this was filmed on-site at “Climate Week” in New York, so lots of sound testing was occurring while Mark filmed. Please be patient with the audio, as we did the best we could with an impromptu recording.

With those items out of the way, we are very pleased to bring you Mark’s in-person, hands-on experience with “Showpower” Technical Director, Tim Benson. This is part two of our on-site “Showpower” feature. Tim is part of a team who have helped one of the world’s most famous bands, “Coldplay,” put on many successful sustainable performances. They want to change the market, and we believe they will! There’s tons to learn from what “Showpower” (@showpower.energy) is doing, and we definitely plan on chatting more with them in the near future. For now, we recommend visiting their website once you’ve finished checking out the episode: https://www.showpower.com/our-story/
