From psychedelic festival stages to live television studios: visuals that look good on the night and don’t fail on air.

In 2026 that meant five festival stages in Germany, Greece and Thailand, a landmark façade in Milan, and media server operation across six RAI Television shows.

Selected work, 2026

Six stages from this season, from festival sculptures to a landmark façade.

What I do

From a single VJ set to a full mapping show or a season of live television. I can take on one part of the job or the whole chain, from the first stage photo to the last cue.

Live visuals

Live VJ sets for electronic and psychedelic festivals, clubs and tours, mixed in real time to the music.

  • Full-night sets on festival main stages
  • A visual identity built around the artist or the stage theme
  • Real-time content in Resolume, Notch and TouchDesigner
  • Working alongside the lighting team and LED screens on site

Good forFestivals, clubs, touring artists

Projection mapping

Mapping on stages, sculptures and building façades, with content cut to the exact shape of the structure.

  • Site survey and photos from the projector position
  • Pixel-accurate mapping templates
  • 3D previs with the stage model and a camera matched to the projector
  • On-site alignment and live show operation

Good forFestival stages, scenography, architecture

Media server operation

Playback and routing for television, live events and LED environments, where the show has to run without interruptions.

  • Show programming and cueing in WATCHOUT and Resolume
  • LED processing and mapping with NovaStar
  • SDI and NDI signal flow, 4K workflows
  • Main and backup systems for live broadcast

Good forTV studios, live events, multi-screen shows

Content preparation

Visuals made for a specific surface and ready to play on the night.

  • Content rendered to the mapping template
  • Existing visuals adapted to new stages and resolutions
  • Frame interpolation to 50 fps for smooth motion
  • Export in playback-ready codecs such as HAP

Good forArtists, production companies, other VJs

TV broadcast

I run media servers and video playback for RAI Television, across six different shows. That means feeding LED scenography, graphics and multi-screen sets live on air, where there is no second take.

Media servers

Resolume Arena and Dataton WATCHOUT for playback, show timelines and multi-output content across LED walls and projection.

Show control

Control surfaces and cue triggering programmed in Bitfocus Companion, so each playback, transition and routing change runs from a single button.

Projectors and LED walls

Setup of multi-projector systems, from alignment to output configuration, and of NovaStar LED wall processors for studio scenography.

Real-time integration

Real-time software such as Notch and TouchDesigner integrated into the show, with live signals over SDI and NDI.
