Simon Wayland
I began my career in 1996 working for Greenland Productions at events like Vans Warped Tour and The Sunnymead Festival. As a Tour Manager I worked at prestigious festivals like Glastonbury (England), WMC (Miami), Telerama Dub Festival (France).
As a Production Director / Music Coordinator I worked on large scale events at the Just For Laughs festival in front of 20,000 spectators. These events included Jean Paul Gaultier`s PinKarnaval and TerraKarnaval by Guy Laliberté (Cirque Du Soleil). My role was to coordinate the creation of the original music and sound FX for the video projections and dance choreographies that featured over 1500 costumed dancers.
For Quicksound`s performance with 15 time Grammy winner Luisito Quintero at Just For Laughs, I coordinated the creation of an elaborate show featuring musicians, DJ`s, VJ`s, dancers and acrobats. I organized the pacing of the show, technical requirements, rehearsals, soundchecks, travel itineraries etc...
As an Artistic Director, I curated the DJ and VJ lineup for two editions of the Just For laughs Festival. At the Société Des Arts Technologiques, I co-created events as part of the S.A.T. Mix Sessions such as India Mon Amour.
