Lighting the Fire: Lighting Director for Disturbed
Lighting the Fire: Joseph Morris – Lighting Director for Disturbed
In this episode, I sit down with Joseph Morris, the Lighting Director for Disturbed, who brings the band’s explosive energy to life through bold, cinematic lighting design. From fire-red strobes to eerie mood shifts that match every scream and breakdown, Joseph is the visual architect behind one of the most intense live shows in modern rock.
We explore how he programs and executes a lighting show that matches Disturbed’s aggressive sound and theatrical moments, what tools and consoles he uses, and how he keeps things running smoothly night after night across massive venues. Joseph also shares his creative process, how he collaborates with the band and production team, and what it's like designing for a show where every light cue needs to hit like a punch to the chest.
Whether you're a lighting tech, a rock production enthusiast, or just want a peek behind the curtain of one of the most powerful touring shows out there, this episode is a must-watch.
