kyõ additional fl exibility. An area with matched fl exibility is the console station, which is 7.8-metres in length. It’s a complete rack and rail system in which the four Pioneer CDJ-2000 CD players and the Pioneer DJM-900 mixer can be moved into various different confi gu- rations to suit the individual DJ’s needs.
Overall Godwin is very impressed with the audio set-up at kyõ, he said: “Even in the fi rst few days of putting up the system without any EQ’ing the system already sounded brilliant. It was a class confi gura- tion from my point of view and E&E did a great job. I know Gary on a personal level so it made the deal a lot easier and made the planning stage a breeze.”
When it came to the lighting and visual concept for kyõ, Godwin had some specifi c ideas in mind. He wanted the lighting to be unique and somewhat quirky so he came up with an indirect lighting concept and approached Martin Professional Singapore to assist him. Jeffrey Ong headed up the team from the Martin Professional side and together they selected the new VC-Grids as the main light source. Jeffrey explained further: “We custom designed boxes of various siz- es and then placed the VC-Grids inside these boxes. Instead of using the light boxes as downlights, we are actually creating a reverse by shining the light boxes upwards.” The boxes hang at different heights from the ceiling primarily over the dancefl oor and are reverse mount- ed in random patterns to create an abstract and futuristic look within the venue. The 128 Martin Professional VC-Grids were chosen instead of LED strips in order to create the correct beam angle of 120º, ensure optimum brightness and to provide uniform coverage for the ceiling. A Martin Professional M2GO compact console has been installed to control the LED boxes.
The futuristic element is enhanced by the graphic canvases that line the walls of kyõ. Godwin commissioned a young street artist, Ceno2 to create original Japanese infused artwork. He requested that part of the canvases were left white in order to create a totally differ- ent dimension at kyõ using projection mapping. Espon projectors combined with software provided by Singapore-based visual artist are used to create the visual displays.
kyõ is one of the latest additions to the Singapore nightlife scene, and its carefully planned design concept coupled with its high-end technology is sure to make this venue a resounding success.

“You don’t have to be on the dancefl oor to feel the punch, you can get that anywhere because those main fi lls give 100-105dB, creating a really good balance.”
