![]() ![]() And other things where you’re so anxious to get the light show up on the screen, either front or rear, when you’re just turning projectors on and you don’t have control of it. The music builds up to an amazing crescendo and stops and the light show keeps going. And the ultimate sin is not listening to the music. And he was seeing a great light show, but he forgot to actually perform. ![]() I’ve seen light shows where the person doing the light show, while skilled, is so stoned doing it that as he would be moving slides around and images that he would get so into it that I’d notice he wasn’t actually moving. JW I can only give you negative examples. I’m proud to say that part of me is always in the audience. If the music goes to great places and the imagery stays loose and allows you to interpret it yourself, then you’ll have synesthesia. It’s why if you show a silent movie and you play any kind of music people will tend to synchronize it. JW It’s when you’re hearing something and seeing something and you tend to put it together. People see things in the show that we don’t do.įTG Is that when people hear sounds for colors or something? Their minds start organizing it, even hallucinating it. They provide the closure relating the music to the light. Improvisational, fugitive performance where you’re responding sympathetically to the music, and then the audience fills up the gap. GP It really is an equivalent to jazz in a way. So we were there to provide something for their eyes, and we learned very quickly that the more abstract, the better. The performers only did so much a lot of them played with their heads down, with their backs to the audience because they were into the playing. We couldn’t take an old cartoon and show it upside down for two hours and get away with it, we had to do something much more complicated. I got involved when it came to New York and it was much more disciplined my specific job in New York City was to provide something behind the performers because it was a theater-the responsibility of the light show was very different. And so there was the development of the light show, initially, to really fill up the space with something that was a nice experience for people similar to the audio experience they were having. These big ballrooms opened up where people could wander around and the band would come out and play a great, loud set and there was a very strong need for something visual. JW It really began in cities a little less uptight than New York in terms of rules and regulations, because New York city was a tough place to work it was hard to open a big club with the gangsters and payoffs. Gary Panter There was a flat on the unicycle.įrank Thurston Green Do you really have a segway? I’m the one that lives eight blocks away so of course it comes with the territory. Joshua White Now let’s get something straight here: Mr. White ordered a tuna fish sandwich with an iced tea and a chocolate milkshake. I met Panter and White at Eisenberg’s, an old time Jewish deli in the Flatiron District in Manhattan. He and Panter have been collaborating on light shows for years now. Joshua White is the founder of the Joshua Light Show, which produced the famed and extraordinarily gnarly backdrops behind dozens of rock and roll luminaries at the Fillmore East and points west. He has said he would sculpt more than he does but he knows how much space that would take up there’s a gorgeous humility about his practicality. He was the set designer of Pee-wee’s Playhouse. This reply was modified 6 years, 10 months ago by Winchester38.Gary Panter is a painter, a creator of extremely unconventional comic books, and a draughtsman of the images in his mind. If nothing else, I’d make sure to put his name in your titles where applicable. It may be worth your time to look up those alone, as lots of guys like to plaster their shop walls with them, or frame them. He was hugely popular in the chopper/bobber/Harley circles, and pretty collectible. ![]() One thing I will suggest, in most of the older Easy Rider and Iron Horse magazines, there was artwork by David Mann (generally centerfold or nearby). Just front and back covers, plus a shot of the table of contents or something similar to add a third photo. With the Playboys, I didn’t post any pictures with nudity. The Playboys all had to be listed under the “adults only” category, and moved relatively slowly, I’m guessing due to reduced views, and lack of demand since they were newer. I’ve sold a bunch of Playboy back issues (90’s & 2000’s), and a few decks of nude model playing cards with no issues. ![]()
