Building a Gravity Rig from Scratch #livemusic

- a fantastic grounding for a career designing solid hardware & software systems. Contacts coming through the studio lead to the first footings into running keyboard & playback rigs live before touring with the Chemical Brothers began in 1997 - a role that still exists today!

...and its projects - helping to make our services relevant, reliable, forward thinking and indispensable to Productions and Artists worldwide.

After the military, I cut my musical teeth as a tape OP in Manchester, engineering and programming ...

Developing Gravity Rigs into a go-to source for live system design and build has been a great mission so far..

The focus and attention to detail I learnt in the Army combined with almost 30 years of touring experience ‘at the coalface’ has been crucial for Gravity Rigs...

"Their knowledge and expertise in the field is what sets them apart, and of course their great service. Big up Matt and Alex!”

As well as production managing Massive Attack & The Chemical Brothers, James has worked with New Order, The Streets, PJ Harvey, Gorillaz & many other artists.

James approached us to work with Massive Attack to upgrade and revamp the MA rig for summer 2025, and there's a bit more to what he said…

“Working with Gravity Rigs to make our set up and load out time more efficient was an absolute pleasure! ...

Whilst having a lot of fun out there, I learned the finer details and know-how for making gear road proof; durability, portability & reliability became second nature.

I’ve always had a passion for technical & creative art forms, so music tech isn’t just a career, it’s in my DNA and will always be!

It’s not just about hardware for me; it’s about people, connection, and delivering the pure energy of live music.

It’s been a long journey… in the 90s, I cut my teeth with touring crews and some of the most influential acts around such as The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Death in Vegas and Blur!

Matt and I set up Gravity Rigs nearly 10 years ago and in that time we've gone from strength to strength.

My mission is creating and refining the best performance systems in the business; testing, tweaking, and making sure artists’ visions come alive on stage.

#Bicep are renowned for their anthemic blend of house, techno, & electronica

Their audio-visual live experiences have captivated audiences at festivals worldwide including #Coachella and #Glastonbury - garnering significant attention and receiving both critical & popular acclaim

This is why we do what we do! Thanks #Bicep

"Gravity Rigs massively helped us overhaul our entire live performance setup. Gravity Rigs customized everything for us - our set up and pack down time is cut by 75%. Highly recommended!"

- Matt & Andy, Bicep

The integration of #Ableton and Cycling '74s #MaxMSP enables us to cater for artists' specific creative vision and expand what's possible with existing tech.

We use #Max4Live with the #ferrofish to enable MIDI mappable presets; turning the unit into an exceptionally useful MADI switcher.

#DJLuciano has a custom communication system enabling him to stay in contact with the tech team in a discreet and efficient way.

Gravity Rigs provide custom hardware AND software solutions for clients.

We've used @cycling74.bsky.social Max4Live for multiple rig setups - to create bespoke software systems which integrate with hardware, and enables artist(s) to realise a creative goal.

We sliced the pack down time by over a third and with our custom stage boxes we also added some future-proof flexibility.

If you like your shows stirring and hard-hitting then do see them live, you will not be disappointed.

#massiveattack used a live setup upgraded this summer by Gravity Rigs.

The brief from their production team was to cut the setup and pack down time significantly, something we like applying ourselves to!

Radial's product range allows us to tackle many real world issues present in live audio production, with a reassuringly highly standard of build quality - a keystone of our philosophy.

Their products are well built & survive the rigors of touring which is what we're all about!
August 15, 2025 at 5:14 PM
We like #Radial gear because we like solving problems!

We used their Key-Largo in the #maluma Rig, the SW-8 Mark 2 for #RagNBoneMan, their JDI Passive Direct Box for #meduzamusic and we resolved a unique switching requirement for #OVERMONO by using the Radial Backtrack.
August 15, 2025 at 5:14 PM
#roland #alphathe and #akai_pro provided the #musictechnology for many of the performance aspects of these rigs too.

Thanks to all the teams involved - keep up the good work!

Dimension needed his rig to be built into a stage centerpiece, Prospa needed a rig for dynamic #liveperformance, & #SubFocus returned for the most recent edition of his rig.

The rigs featured high quality road tested equipment from #Radial, #SynthaxAudioUK, #RME, #iConnectivity, and #ferrofish
August 8, 2025 at 2:48 PM
The #Creamfields #musicfestival features a wealth of Gravity Rigs clients across a diverse range of genres.

We created very different bespoke rigs for #Subfocus, #Prospa, and #Dimension - each of which delivered the artist’s vision and ambition.
