    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    SO looking forward to seeing these live next week. I've got a 27" monitor but I know it still doesn't come close to the real thing.

    Nice work!

    So many great people here on PL have taught me so much in so short a time.

    But I gotta say, swamidog, you've been consistently producing the most inspiring stuff.
    I really love your work.

    I'm kicking myself for not being able to make SELEM this year, but I just can't do it. I'm hoping there's a chance someone will record your session -- even bootleg movie style with a shaky cam and bad audio -- something I could buy off the street here in NYC for $5.

    Cheers,

    I like this a lot. Very satisfying, very psychedelic. I think if Tangerine Dream in their prime could done it with light it might have been like that.

    Great job Chris, keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing it SEALEM, hopefully we can score the laser dome for a show.

    Laser (the acronym derived from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation) is a spectacular manifestation of this process. It is a source which emits a kind of light of unrivaled purity and intensity not found in any of the previously known sources of radiation. - Lasers & Non-Linear Optics, B.B. Laud.

    I decided to try this show on our big video projector and here is another first. Because the video is so well recorded and the RECORDED contrast is so high this is the first laser show I have successfully projected that looks as good as an RGB laser projector. I don't think I am exaggerating here. As I can't upload it and try this side by side I can't give a firm estimate of a power equivalent, but when I overlay a virtual DJ from Pangolin and project waves from a balanced 9W RGB @ 25% power the line intensity is close. The projector I am using is a 4,500 lumen DLP. This projector can handle HD, but because the line width of each pixel @ 1920H is 1/3 mrad this does not add any benefit unless there is some edge smoothing. The problem with this projector and I guess some others is that to maintain the laser-like high contrast it has to be run no higher than 50% brightness. If there are some truly high contrast projectors that maintain their brightness at a higher % power output and are in the 1,800 to 2,000 lumen range these might also be quite affordable and to overlay two to three of these...then non coherent, legal projections. Just thinking

    that's very interesting..

    if it's a useful data point, my little projector does almost exactly 3W at a decent color balanced white (i need more red before i can really crank it).

    i shot the video at iso 100, f20, 1/30 second shutter speed, and 30fps.
