Discovering Pyrotechnics In Art And Music

By Jeffrey Williams


When it comes to unique and unusual work, fire can often play a place. For, pyrotechnics is an area in which individuals need a lot of skill. Whereas, individuals can often also have fun simply by playing with the element, as long as done so safely. One area in which fire is at the center is in that of being a burner or fire dancer, either of which can be work or play.

Different areas to which these words apply include, demolition, quarrying, gas pressure blasting in mining, parts of automotive airbags, explosive bolts, oxygen candles, safety matches, fireworks and generally anything related to fire, especially as associated with the arts. Whereas, the people in charge of devices associated with the technology including the safe storage and handling of those devices or those whom provide professional firework displays are known as pyro-technicians.

Fireworks, flames, smoke, flashes and explosions used in entertainment are often referred to as fire art, such as that which takes place at the Burning Man festival. The proximate location refers to the device's position relative to an audience. In most areas, special licensing and training must be completed along with permission of the owner of a venue or property when using any aspect of fire art.

Currently, Paul McCartney has one of the biggest fire art and firework displays of any concert to date. Although, there are a number of others who also use the technology during live shows. Pink Floyd was one of the first bands to use the technology in concert in the 1980s. For, during the song, "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" smoke and ash would erupt from the back of the staging area.

In fact, groups such as The Who, Kiss and Queen have put on some of the most dramatic concerts in history by using fire. Although, it is not only rock and roll bands as seen by Rammstein, a metal industrial band which are renowned for incorporating different aspects of the technology in live shows and videos. Whereas, American pop bands Lordi and Green Day have also been using the technology.

Modern technology with regards to fire is broken into categories. Each category provides a different result when set off whether at a fireworks display or concert. In some cases, such as the finale at a fireworks show, multiple categories are used for a dramatic effect. However, it is important that producers and showgoers be extremely cautious and aware when this is the case.

When it comes to theatrical performances, most devices are used to create an effect of fire either coming out of an object. In this case, the term used to describe this aspect is known as gerb. In most cases, the use of devices in this area are often far safer than that of others. Still, even with live theater and movie productions, there can be incidents in which a fire can be started or an individual experiences a severe burn.

Regardless of category, most of these devices are now initiated by a remote control signal which causes an electrical charge or e-match to produce ignition. While the remote may be a manual device, the computer can be controlled via a switch console in order to fire a sequence or pre-programmed sequence of fireworks in different formats which tracks with the live performance during stage cues.
