Atlanta Pop Festival I
Atlanta International Raceway · Hampton, Georgia
Atlanta, Georgia · The original visual music show
A hand-built collision of light, liquid, film and live sound—projected behind the artists who changed music forever.
↓Before pixels. Before presets. Before “immersive” was a buzzword. We played the visuals live.
Electric Collage fused colored oils, film loops, glass, mirrors and pure instinct into living images. Operators improvised in real time, responding to every guitar scream, bass drop and shift in the crowd.
Nothing was automated. Nothing could be repeated. Every show existed once—then disappeared into the memories of the people who saw it.

Byron, Georgia · Jimi Hendrix at midnight
Part science experiment, part performance art. The image was an instrument—and the room was the canvas.
Brilliant liquids heated, cooled and manipulated between glass plates.
Hand-shot 16mm loops, painted slides and real-world imagery in motion.
Prisms, mirrors and dimmers mixed by hand to follow the musicians.
The sound was legendary.
The light made it larger.
The light still moves
“The shows were gorgeous, transfixing and poignant. I can still remember the projected figure of a small ballerina as she pirouetted amidst the swirls of moving color.”
— Brad, audience member · 1970
