Finland’s biggest music competition picks MDG haze

“Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu” (New Music Contest), Finland’s biggest music competition, is an annual event in which Finland’s representative for the Eurovision Song Contest is selected in a live broadcast by Finnish television viewers and an international UMK jury.

This year’s Finals on 20 February marked the show’s 10th anniversary. The evening was broadcast live in four languages from Mediapolis TV studios in Tampere and televised on Yle TV1 to an audience of 1.7 million viewers.

Lighting designer Pekka Martti of Aku’s Factory turned to MDG haze generators for his lighting design, using its white haze to show a range of visuals that created a different look and mood for each of the seven contestants.

Martti selected an MDG ATMe haze generator and an MDG TheOne dual haze and fog generator for this event. He positioned TheOne, set in haze mode, on stage behind the upstage curtain, and placed the ATMe haze machine in the auditorium (there was no live audience due to COVID restrictions). TheOne and the ATMe generators were supplied to Aku’s Factory by MDG’s Finnish distributor, MSonic Oy.
