Bastille Live Rehearsal & Music Video at Kinetics Studios
Bastille recently returned to Kinetics Studios to prepare for their next live performances, using our expansive Infinity Cove for a full set rehearsal.
The band used the studio to run through their complete live set, including their new song, giving the musicians and production team the space to rehearse the performance, staging and production elements together in one professional environment.
This was not Bastille's first time at Kinetics. The band previously visited the studio to film their music video for Thelma + Louise, making use of the large-scale Infinity Cove for their live performance.
Their return demonstrates the versatility of Kinetics Studios for professional music productions, from rehearsals and live performance preparation through to music video production.
Bastille Return for a Full Live Set Rehearsal
For their latest visit, Bastille transformed the Infinity Cove into a full rehearsal environment for their live set.
With a large open floor area, the studio provided the room needed for the full band, instruments, equipment and production team to work together without the restrictions of a traditional rehearsal space.
The band were able to perform the set as a complete production, including their new song, giving everyone involved the opportunity to work through the performance and refine the show ahead of their live dates.
Space for the Full Music Production
A full live rehearsal requires considerably more space than simply rehearsing the music.
The Infinity Cove provides a large, seamless environment where the band and production team can recreate elements of the live setup, allowing staging, equipment, lighting and performance positions to be considered together with the help of SECTRA.
Having this space available also gives the production team greater freedom to move equipment and adjust the setup throughout the rehearsal.
For an established touring artist such as Bastille, having enough room to run through a complete production can be an important part of preparing for the stage.
Rehearsing New Material
The rehearsal also included Bastille's new song, giving the band the opportunity to work the new material into their wider live set.
A dedicated studio environment provides the flexibility to repeat sections, make changes to the setup and run through the performance as many times as required.
This allows the creative and production teams to develop the performance together before taking it in front of a live audience.
Why Use Kinetics for a Live Rehearsal?
Kinetics Studios provides considerably more space than a conventional rehearsal room, making it suitable for artists and production teams working on larger live productions.
The Infinity Cove offers a professional environment where performers, musicians, crew, equipment and production teams can all work within the same space.
The studio also provides supporting facilities including production areas, client facilities and on-site amenities, helping teams stay focused throughout a full rehearsal day.
Bastille's Previous Visit to Kinetics
Bastille's relationship with Kinetics Studios began with the production of their music video for Thelma + Louise.
During their first visit, the band used the Infinity Cove to perform live for the music video, making use of the studio's expansive space to create an atmospheric visual setting around their performance.
At the time of this production, SPECTRA had not yet been installed, so the music video was created using the studio environment and lighting setup available at the time.
The production demonstrated the potential of the Infinity Cove for music video work, giving Bastille and the production team a large, controlled environment in which to film the band's performance.
From Live Rehearsal to Music Video
Bastille's return to Kinetics shows how the same large-scale studio environment can support completely different stages of a band's production.
Their first visit focused on creating finished visual content for Thelma + Louise. Their latest visit was focused on preparing the band and production team for a live performance.
Both projects required space, flexibility and a professional environment capable of accommodating the demands of a major music production.
A Studio for Professional Music Productions
Kinetics Studios provides large-scale production environments for music videos, live rehearsals, performance shoots, television, film and commercial productions.
The Infinity Cove offers a large seamless shooting and rehearsal space, with direct access for production equipment and vehicles, alongside dedicated facilities for production teams.
The studio can be configured around the requirements of each project, making it suitable for artists, record labels, production companies and creative teams working on ambitious productions.
The Impact of Infinity Cove
Bastille's two visits to Kinetics Studios demonstrate the different ways a professional studio can support an established artist.
Their recent return provided the space needed to rehearse a complete live set and work on new material, while their earlier visit saw the band use the Infinity Cove to create their Thelma + Louise music video.
From preparation and rehearsal through to finished content, Kinetics Studios provides the space and flexibility needed to support large-scale music productions.
