Re: visualization software

This got me to remembering a gig I did with my brother in a looping space 
rock outfit we had in the 90s. We went on stage at an outdoor festival in 
N 
Georgia. There was no lights on so I yelled at our buddy Wayne who put the 
show on to hit the lights and he said make some sound. I strummed a chord 
and red, blue and amber lights went across the stage. he said thats all he 
had. so we started playing and it was great, the lights were in time to us 
but it felt like they were driving the music someway. Each frequency had 
its 
own color.  Good gig.

peace,
Jeff

Hi,

In the nineties I was working with a team that organized a future
targeting exhibition at Stockholm Music Museum dealing with the
internet and lots of software. On many computers we used Cthugha for
dynamic graphic visuals induced by sound. This software is still alive
and kicking - you can check it out at
