For the 2021 Jubilee tour we built 18 custom LED persimmons of various sizes that formed a video-capable backdrop, plus DMX-controlled lights wrapped around the stage gong that responded every time it was hit, including at Saturday Night Live and Coachella.
For the Melancholy tour we retrofitted an antique railroad lantern with our custom wireless LED system, programmed as a beacon through the show, and brought back the light-up gong.
