New laser show

[dnar]

I have not performed a live show for 9 months due to work commitments. Have not programmed a show in even longer.

Feeling the urge to do so, and having previously created shows to the obvious music such as Jarre and Kraftwerk, I feel the need to do something different, such as a show to 70's heavy metal like Black Sabbath. Not usual, so I am thinking yeah. Something like an old school light show rather than techno or beam show. What do you think?

Great idea Wayne... Might I suggest 'Child in Time' by Deep Purple

[kecked]

suppers ready by genesis

[White-Light]

Keeping on the Deep Purple Theme, Smoke on the Water.

Bit more to sync to.

[kecked]

yes but there is better story line in suppers ready. One song=whole show.

[White-Light]

Can't say I know the Gensis song and didn't realise Dnar was after a graphics show.

That said, smoke on water tells the story of how a building Deep Purple were going to play in burnt down in front of them, so is some story line:

We all came out to Montereax,
On the Lake Geneva shoreline.
To make records with a mobile,
We didn't have much time.
But Frank Zappa and the Mothers,
Were at the best place around,
But some stupid with a flare gun,
Burned the place to the ground.
Smoke on the water and fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water...

They burned down the gambling house,
It died with an awful sound.
(Uh) Funky Claude was running in and out,
Pulling kids out the ground.
When it all was over,
We had to find another place.
But Swiss time was running out,
It seemed that we would lose the race.
Smoke on the water and fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water...

We ended up at the Grand Hotel.
It was empty cold and bare.
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside,
Making our music there.
With a few red lights, a few old beds,
We made a place to sweat.
No matter what we get out of this,
I know I know we'll never forget.
Smoke on the water and fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water...

Either way, I have no axe to grind, was just a suggestion.

Since day one i have heard and seen a DP show in my BRAIN!!

'Smoke ( n mirrors) On The Water'

images of Zappa- flarguns
gamblin houses lots and lots of flames
a swiss watch
Grand Hotel sign
red lights
old beds

sky water fire and smoke
every thing a good lasershow needs

[dnar]

I was thinking something like this:



Beam show.

[DrEvil]

So I found this by searching for "Child in Time laser show." I've been thinking about making one myself. I still haven't make a single show though. Not sure how one for "Child in Time" would turn out.

[LaserCo]

staying with the original idea (Sabbath) I think Sabba Cadabra / A National Acrobat would rule, it has lots of parts that 'take you somewhere'


Here is a unique 'cover' of the tune!
Too bad that it is not the full song.. It is odd to hear James's voice singing this.. I had to share this !




For Deep Purple I would recommend Burn
