L-Acoustics’ L-ISA technology was deployed for this year’s Cully Jazz Festival in the heart of Switzerland’s wine country.
The festival was born in 1995 from the passion and dreams of two young visionaries, Daniel Thentz and Emmanuel Gétaz. Since then, the festival has grown from a humble two-day event, to one of Switzerland's most influential jazz festivals spread across nine vibrant days.
This year marks Cully Jazz Festival’s 40th anniversary, and the event now includes the entire village in its festival atmosphere. Year after year, the festival's demanding yet accessible program attracts more than 70,000 festival goers.
The festival line-up features musical performances across various genres and over three stages, including the brand new Chapiteau, a state-of-the-art outdoor stage, designed to elevate the live performance experience for audiences.
For the entire 40-year run, Cully Jazz Festival has called on local L-Acoustics Certified Partner TMS, a specialist in providing audiovisual technology for live events. The success of this year's event, they say, is due in no small part to L-Acoustics L-ISA technology, which enabled them to create an unforgettable audio experience for attendees.
"The main reason we chose to deploy L-ISA immersive sound for the festival is because jazz as a genre thrives on natural-sounding amplification of acoustical elements, and L-ISA greatly contributes to achieving this natural feeling,” explained Benjamin Bard, project manager at TMS.
“We were already in a great position, as the acoustics of the main venue are remarkably well-controlled, which made L-ISA even more effective, and significantly enhanced the overall sound quality.
