Two Mountain Stages for Green Man Festival in the Welsh hills. The 2015 stage, built in ten days with Limbic Cinema, used painted plywood as a projection mapped backdrop by day and an audio visual show by night.

The 2017 commission wove 7.5 kilometres of satin ribbon across timber frames wrapping the stage scaffold, with 500 metres of addressable LED inside the panels responding to the live music. A short film of the 2015 stage is on Vimeo.
