I found this music during a late night music search on Youtube. My ears picked up at the driving beat and musical style changes and then... a singing gorilla. It had to be done. This was a fun one. Fast and dazzling with big expressive abstracts. I wanted to fill the screen with as much light...

This was just a show for fun. I wanted something irreverent. Something to clap along with. Educated silliness and “They Might Be Giants” has always fit that bill. One of the best things to come out of the 90's and they always make me smile. Whirling Dervish dancers of red and yellow light with...

In February 2016, NASA announced the LIGO experiment detected gravitational waves caused by the merger of two black holes. The accompanying illustration showed an accretion disk with a helix of energy emitting from the center. Since the LIGO detector is basically a giant laser interferometer, I...

Here's a little show I made. I was hoping to get it online for abstract thursday, but I'm in the process of a cross country move and time is really tight. I had a lot of problems with camera synch on this so it's a little flickery. I'll re-film and post again when I've unpacked and settled in...

here's a quick and dirty new laser show. i was setting some abstracts to zeppelin for the ufo project and liked the way it looked, so i decided to do a full show instead of just snippets. i wanted something that had kind of an old school feel to it, but with some modern tricks that couldn't be...
