Pink Floyd Light Show Creates Techno Visuals For Retro Audios

There is only one place to distill the universal themes that unite people around the world into fifty minutes: the "Laser Fluid: The Dark Side of the Moon" light show.

With cosmic animation and laser effects, the Boston Museum of Science presents a show every Friday and Saturday. Viewers can take a journey through the entire 'Dark Side of the Moon' album and see the main themes highlighted in each track.

Occupied by Charles Hayden, the $9 million, 57-foot-tall dome has been used to host acts as diverse as Radiohead, Beyonce and Fleetwood Mac. However, "Laser Floyd" is the only musical show that uses lasers in its animation, while the others consist of pure astronomical images.

As the song "Clock" begins during the show, laser images of clock gears fall against a dark red background. Suddenly, an alarm sounds as the belfry bell rings, and images of clock hands, screws, and gears sweep through the crowd. About two and a half minutes into the introduction, images of pyramids that match the sound of drums take over the room.

At the end of "Brain Damage," Sinh's solo scene was accompanied by several images of mushrooms growing on the screen. The song focuses on a crazy man who hears voices in his head telling him what to do. All these psychedelic images helped the audience to steal the thoughts of the character of the song.

Another highlight of the show was when "What Color Do You Like" saw a lot of eyes looking towards and approaching the crowd. Being an entirely instrumental song, the space-themed interlude is perfect for the show's aesthetic. It was a simple point that created something new for the eye of the beholder.

As "Ons and Them" began to play, there was a red vinyl record that went in and out of the song's slow tempo, spinning to the lead guitar riff.

He contrasted the show's and album's final song, "Eclipse," with the show's "Gus and Them" segment. The finale of "Eclipse" ended with the speed of the laser spinning as the song climaxed.

Dale Edwards, host of music and art shows at the Charles Hayden Planetarium, has hosted Pink Floyd laser shows for the past 10 years.

"All the astronomy stuff I've seen, I've flown live and put together a lot of videos," Edwards said. It shows the same software used in astronomy... I used those scenes too.

The crowd at Friday night's show was made up of people of all ages. Brenton Babb, a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences, attended the Pink Floyd laser show last weekend.

"The ability to adapt from laser-cut stories to subtle objects was a performance," Babb said.

CAS sophomore Michael Villani said "Money" stood out to him, as did the Egyptian side of the show. The song "Time" features images of Egyptian themes, including the pyramids.

"(The hieroglyphs) probably represent the ankh, the symbol of life in Egyptian mythology," Villani said. "I don't know if anyone noticed... At least for me there were many signs of life and death.

Northeastern University graduate student Susan Katz said the show was great and happened "quickly."

"I felt like I was on a roller coaster," Katz said. - Like traveling.

The event ended with a laser image on the album cover in front of the moon.
