About the studio

Engineer-led research for practical event technology.

Event Tech Research exists to make modern production systems clearer, more resilient, and easier to operate. The work sits between field engineering, R&D, education, and careful documentation.

Why it exists

Live event systems are increasingly software-defined, networked, and cross-disciplinary. That can unlock powerful workflows, but it also creates new failure modes for teams working under pressure.

The studio focuses on making those systems legible: clear signal paths, understandable control, useful monitoring, and documentation that reflects how crews actually work.

Working values

  • Prefer open standards and interoperability wherever possible
  • Design for the person operating the system at show speed
  • Document decisions so systems remain supportable after handover
  • Test in realistic conditions, not just ideal lab conditions

Research areas

  • Networked audio and low-latency transport
  • OSC, control surfaces, and device integration
  • Monitoring, observability, and show-day diagnostics
  • Venue infrastructure, commissioning, and technical education
