Speaker 1: world tour at the moment. She got a very good

7
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: write up as reading in the Australian Press yesterday. She

8
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: seems to still at the age of seventy, whatever she is,

9
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,520

Speaker 1: Whether it be fashion or Cyndi Laupol or any stage show.

15
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: What I mean, the change you must have seen as

16
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: dramatic in the ability of tech, lighting, staging, the wow

17
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: factor so it's not just a person in their guitar anymore.

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, when I sort of came into the world

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: of creative directing about twenty years ago is when technology

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: really merged with everything, which meant there were so many

21
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: more possibilities to create worlds and transform music into visuals,

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: you know, So that's really sort of been my thing

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 2: since I started years ago in two thousand and two

24
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. So visuals with music and I just

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: seem to connect with as artists and companies that really

26
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: want to elevate creative and I think technology is a

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: great way to do that because it really brings people

28
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: closer to an experience that they can have, which is

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: what people want. Now we know they want an experience,

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: not to just sit and watch a show as.

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: You go now what I like to bring me Sure,

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: as you go into the fourth round of Wearable Lots,

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: you're feeling the pressure. Do you have to come up

34
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: with something bigger, bitter and broader every year?

35
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,680

37
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: where every year it's fresh, every year it's different, but

38
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: yet we always hold on to the DNA because the

39
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: designs come from all over the world and they're different.

40
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,040
