Love is Music times the Speed of Light Squared
This is what motivated the thinking again and I have copied it from a copy from an online friend:
Maybe it's stoner rubbish but you probably won't contest music is love because no-one is going to labor in a basement for years to learn how to do it without a profound love of music. If the musician shares it with you then that's love for you as well because there's risk there may be a mistake, there's tension because you don't want that mistake, maybe the audience won't like it, etc.
Light, for me, is the lasers and the other extreme is conjuring visuals with no visuals at all as in Beethoven's "Pastorale Symphony."
We're not going to review approaches as this is how I have wanted to do it since I was a kid. I need to see music in whatever ways it is possible to see it. Reefer and hallucinogens have been one part of doing that while other types of drugs destroy it.
The question always asks is it real but that gets all existential and take that ball if you like young stoners but the hit will probably go foul and then you're out in the weeds. We like the weeds but prefer not to live in them.
Since I cannot demonstrate the speed of light on a physicist's blackboard, I represent it with the lasers and the perception of light is generally in terms of colors and light or dark but we don't appreciate so much we are doing it (i.e. seeing) unless something goes wrong, lights go out, etc. The specific purpose of the lasers through the smoke is to cast those intense beams of laser light in multiple colors because they invariably trigger an effect of holy crap, what am I seeing.
This is not a tight integration of the light and the music because the lasers don't move or define patterns in relationship to the beat or the harmonic relationship of notes but they define a space in which the music happens. That's specifically what "The End of the World in Fort Worth" is to show and it's the same reason, mostly, it takes so long to deliver it. This one needs to come as close as I can to satisfying that old high school dream because I thought of this a long, long time ago and have never been satisfied anything I did really got it 100%.
