Producing the light show at a concert was an exciting experience. It was a jam session. We got very involved with the music and the concert. Our media was as much a part of the show as every musical note. The visuals flowed naturally for every song and we instantly knew what mix and mood we wanted to convey as each song started. The synergy created by the musicians and the light show was one that is impossible to describe in words. You had to be there.

The liquids were just a piece of the collage on the wall and mostly used for blending the various pieces of media and to add motion to the screen. I depended on them to be very accurately manipulated and that is why I did that part myself during the show. Over time I spent a lot of time developing the formula to produce the liquids. Our colors were always brilliant and full of different hues as you can see on this page in one of our trademarked 4 color liquid projections.

Using the multiple projectors and custom control panel we could mix much more complex images than you saw on television or in motion pictures. 

Our images were multi layered, windowed and very complex. Plus they were in real time and spontaneous. We often had many different story threads going on the screen. However, it was our intent not to distract from the music but to enhance it. It took a lot of instinct and skill to use all those special effects without being a distraction. But as artists were had no problem blending the visual music with the aural music and building a harmonious experience for the audience.

After each show new ideas soon emerged for new visuals. Some experiments, some production tests, then a new show was underway before we had a chance to take a breath. Constant evolution. Over time we produced thousands of different visualizations on the screen. We did not need to go to any imaging extreme to have an interesting show. No shock stuff, no porn. Just pleasant images. Since we were the counter culture's TV channel some of the images were from current events. We kept the show interesting and evolved it to a new level for each production.

By the end of the era we had mastered the technology. We were looking at television as a new medium but we could not produce the show using analog TV technology of the times. The essence of the show was organic from human manipulation to the light on the wall.
