Gig Stack is a modular performance system that allows musicians to transport and use the equipment they need in a safe and efficient manner, using a trolley-style system. The modular nature of the system allows users to customise their set up to include modules that they need, in order to perform as effectively as possible, and set up/pack down as efficiently as possible. 

Gig Stack can be used in its stacked form or broken down into its individual modules in a fast, safe manner depending on the user's needs. I began this project with the question: “How does the repeated transport and use of multiple heavy objects affect the health and wellbeing of venue and street musicians?” By asking this question I discovered that there were significant health risks associated with the transport and set up of music gear, not to mention frustration at the inefficiencies involved in this process. Once these issues had been identified, I aimed to “design a product that reduces non-performance related musculoskeletal injuries in performing musicians, while improving their efficiency during set up and pack down.” This is where Gig Stack was developed and filled this gap in the market.
