THE OCEAN - Live Rig Rundown

In this comprehensive gear feature The Ocean are giving insight into their intricate and unusual, sequencer-controlled live setup, explaining every piece of gear and part of the process, from in-ear monitoring to MIDI-controlled lighting to a guitar rig rundown.

Filmed at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco in March, 2024 during the band’s recent North American headline tour with Shy, Low and The World Is A Beautiful Place And We Are No Longer Afraid To Die, this feature offers an interesting glimpse into the challenges and considerations behind gear choices of a heavily touring band, which are to a large degree defined by the logistics of flying between the continents and the implication of being able to bring only minimal gear along.
