For the laser show set to "Silence feat. Sarah McLachlan (Stereo Express Remix)," John Dickson utilized 16 lasers arranged in two mirrored triangles of eight to create a captivating visual narrative that perfectly complemented the song's emotional depth and progressive journey. Leveraging a blend of purple, orange, and white, Dickson employed a variety of offset effects for color, brightness, and movement to add layers and complexity to the performance, ensuring that each moment of the nearly six-minute show felt unique and engaging.
The thoughtful use of colors and effects mirrored the song's progression, transitioning smoothly between moments of tranquility and intensity. This approach, emphasizing both the geometric precision of the laser arrangements and the dynamic potential of lighting effects, showcased Dickson's ability to craft a laser show that was not only visually stunning but also deeply connected to the music it accompanied. The result was a nuanced and immersive experience that highlighted his skill in matching technical expertise with creative vision.
It took 16 hours to program the show using Pangolin Beyond 5.2, and Syncronorm Depence R3 was used for visualization.
