Björk's music has always been intricate and it takes an army of musicians, composers and technical experts to help deliver the live instrumentals, electronic percussion and edgy digital instrumentation for which her shows are renowned.
For this tour, Alan Pollard was keen to keep the cabling as simple and tidy as possible so he turned to the technical department of UK cable specialist VDC Trading for help.
"As we're visiting a lot of different venues in both the US and Europe, I wanted a cabling system that was relatively pain-free to set up," he says. "To achieve this, I ordered four mains distribution boxes from VDC Trading - one for each rack on stage and one for Front Of House. These provide 16 amp connectors into our UPS's (battery back-ups), then back into UK 13 amp sockets on rack mount panels."
