Production | 2001

In need of additional touring and production assistance, Tour Manager Jenna Felling engaged Ariel while he was working locally on Air's swing through the Hammerstein Ballroom. Five days later he was flown to their Toronto show and continued to assist them throughout the US & Canadian legs of the 10,000hz Legend Tour, the bands second major album release. Brian Reitzell, Jason Falkner, and James Rotondi joined Air founders JB Dunckel and Nicolas Godin to round out the band. Sebastian Tellier and master theremin player Pamelia Kurstin opened the show. Artist Mathieu Tonetti captured the vibe of the tour in the video below.
