Alright . . . a long shot here. I'm very interested in learning how to go about creating about visuals to accompany music -- computer or film. Anyone know any resources that they could point me to?

There is a program called 'cd spectrum pro' out there I believe. I was quite impressed with the results, but I think it only works with a cd.

I remember seeing the Charletans in 1990 in Edinburgh. They were shite so we turned our attetion to the visuals guy who looked like Gerry Garcia out of the Grateful Dead at about 70 ( if he'd lived to that age )This old geezer was at the back of the hall projecting images by pouring shampoo, oil, and all sorts into a glass tray which in turn was on top of an overhead projector whilst rocking it back and forth. The lens of the projector had revolving coloured gels in front of it. The result was an ever changing 'splattered brains' style projection. This washed over the band and on the wall behind them....quite stunning. We spent the whole gig watching this guy like bothersome school kids. 'Hey mister whatcha doin'....... that sort of thing....anyway just thought I'd share that with you.

What about a pixel camera (not sure of the name). I bought one years ago. It was made by a toy manufacture and you could get it at Toys R Us. It cost about $100 and recorded the image on regular cassette tape. B&W with weird after images if you shook about a bit. I used mine alot with video projections or on multiple monitors. I just go around and by old tv's for $20-50 and then get 5-20 of them running the same image. I've put them on telephone pole pedestals, hung them from ceilings with safety belt material, piled them up haphazardly, put them 5 high in totem poles, yadda yadda yadda. Not very practical if you don't have a truck or need to travel far but the benefit over passive screens is that you can use them almost like strobe units.

BTW, for anybody in LA. I'll be performing in LA starting in Nov under the name "Circle of Willis"
It'll be a sound/video/theater psychic cacophony. You ain't seen nothin like it. E-mail me for details. Seating is going to be limited to 25 people per night.

One of our laser guys used to have a box of mirrors, prisms, motors, etc.. to get various effects from his lasers (this was about 10 years ago). He even told me once that he used a glass tub full of lemonade and shined the laser through that once for an effect.

So I kicked the cunt in the teeth and havent seen the stupid fucker since.

Still its worth a call to STL Lighting for all your lighting needs......please call.....go on I know you want to.....the kids will go starving if you dont.................just one nights hire of a searchlight could pay my rent for one month........please hire something......book for the millenium to avoid disapointment.......go on please......(sad dog look)..etc...blah..drone....rhumatism........
