Wow, reminds me of the old days at the planetarium. Must say LFI never had lumia
that even came close to that. Thanks for posting the show Jon.

True but with LFIs dual color mod they could create color that was out of this world..

Is there anywhere left in the UK that's still doing this sort of thing.

I only know of two Planatariums in the UK, the one in London and a temporary one at Harewood House near Leeds. Don't know what gear they are using though.. Anyone know?

I'd love to visit a decent Planetarium, I have memories of being taken to the London one by my parents as a kid.

One of the most awe inspiring sights i've ever seen was the view of space from Whistler (Nr Vancouver). I've never seen so many stars in my life as I saw that night, it was truly awe inspiring. Made me realise how much pollution we have in the UK

Hey Kats -

Thank for all the great comments! - I'll pass them along to Ivan, which will, I am sure, bring at least a small smile to his face - sorely needed, these days..

what happend? thats it? its closed

Wow - even Clan came out! yeah, sadly, the investors-management / lunatics took over the asylum and screwed the pooch (how's that for a cliche-cocktail... ) I knew it was doomed when the 'marketing manager' basically hijacked the website and turned it into that hideous sack of entrails that got up - he didn't even ASK Ivan's (or anyones') approval - can you IMAGINE trying to sell LASERIUM - without SHOWING LASERIUMs images?????? 'Stock photography' of $#!%y club-laser-crap, are you INSANE??? THIS is what needed to be put up, (and waaaaaay less text / BS and 'staged' video-clips) :



...*sigh* oh, well - but as it has in the past, this great 'Phoenix' will rise-again - 'don't know how, don't know when, but I know we'll meet again, some suuunnnyy daaaaaayyy'!

Lava A huge percentage of that is all being done live. Some stuff came from the tape some from the oscillator banks and some from the show opp. Some tape stuff you could consider a seed, that the op would take and do the rest live... with note cards that had instructions on presetting osc banks and effects and switch positions. Then the local op would preform the show live.

That is partially what made the shows so great. There was never s show that was exactly the same, similar yes but not exact.

Dsl, can you get a shot of the console?

p.s. It has been a lot of years please correct me if i am wrong.

yes, Chad, you are pretty-much spot-on - the only difference is that 'today', we brought all 'recorded' material into Ableton Live (used like a 'conductor') and then we could turn-on / off midi info (controlling all actuators / scan-glasses, etc) so the show could be 'more-' or 'less-live', on-demand... and thus, we eliminated ADATs, and also, could go-in and cut/paste / tweek / color-mod, etc - not necessarily the 'ultimate' solution, but it did eliminate the 'fragile' ADAT-factor / neatly-harness all midi-data, etc...

Anyhoo, here's that 'console' for ya - DZ - here ya go buddy - the most Ultimate analog oscillator bank twiddler / synthesizer ever built!



...Now, who wants to help me 'emulate' this and get it all packed-into a small box / touch-screen?? - 'and together, we can rule the galaxy as Father and Son...'

Please join me in a moment of silence... ok, back to werk!

ciao
