Software for pyromusical shows

Soundtrack, firing plan, 3D simulation and client dossier in one place.

A pyromusical is the format where precision shows. Every cue sits on the soundtrack to the millisecond, the large-calibre shells break on the downbeats, candles and cakes dress the verses, and the finale lands on the last note. That requires a sequenced firing system, numbered lines and known ignition delays for every reference in the plan. Preparation runs for weeks: editing the audio, writing the firing plan, testing, then a full day of cabling on site before anyone presses a button.

This format draws the biggest budgets and the most demanding sponsors: municipalities for their national day, festivals, international competitions, large companies. The client wants to hear the music before signing, understand why this track and that calibre, and know who clears the public performance rights for the soundtrack. Where it goes wrong: audio delivered too late, a broadcast licence nobody thought about, a last-minute change that shifts the whole sequence, and a quote that no longer covers the hours actually spent.

In PyroDesk, the show dossier holds the soundtrack, the firing plan and every exchange with the client. PyroSimulator plays the show in 3D with real calibres and the spectator view, which beats a long speech in front of a committee. The quote itemises products, labour and preparation days; the contract is signed on the client portal. The authority declaration is prepared from the firing plan, stock is reserved, and the calendar blocks the rigging days and the crew.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to prepare a pyromusical show?

Allow several weeks between soundtrack approval and firing: audio editing, writing the firing plan cue by cue, ordering products, testing the sequencer, then one or two days of cabling on site depending on the number of lines. Bill those preparation days; they weigh as much as the products.

Who pays the music rights for a pyromusical display?

It depends on who plays the music and in what setting. Usually the event organiser declares the public performance to the rights collection body for their country. Spell this out in the contract so nobody is surprised, and check with the competent body where the show takes place.

Can I show the client a simulation before the show?

Yes. PyroSimulator plays the firing plan in 3D against the soundtrack, with real calibres, burst heights and the view from the audience. It is the tool for getting a proposal approved by a committee or a festival director without firing a single product.
