Editor's note: This sxticle

people visualize rock music
through laser images.
Laser light, in a variety of
colors, creates patterns on the
planetarium ceiling that corre
late with the rock song play
ing. The show features music
from The Fixx, Michael Jack
son, Def Leppard, The Police
and others.
"It's an explosion of vivid,
pure color, it's music that you
can' see," Scott Frederick, las
erist, said. He said the laser
machine emits light that is
reflected onto a series of mir
rors and then is projected onto
the ceiling.
The laser images come from
the side of the room while the
background they are projected
onto comes from a star ball in
the middle of the room. Fred
erick said use of the star field
creates a sense of depth and a

show "live," but other parts o!
the show are computer aided.
The laser lines are actually a
series of dots that move 50 fast
they appear to form a line.
I Much of the laser imagery is
in the eyes of the audience.
People can relate their own
meanings to the patterns
somewhat like interpreting
poetry. Meaning is clearly evi
dent in some segments such as
"Major Tom Coming Home,"
which has a clear story line
that the patterns follow. Oth
ers such as "Red Skies" and "In
The Mood" are more abstract.
I found myself associating
specific experiences and feel
ings I had vith the lines. My
imagination flew as I thought
of things that seemed to point
to meaning in the song or in
my own life.
The show progresses well
and is humorous during "Beat
It" and "Puppy Love."
I was fascinated with the
way the images coincided with
man band's third album, Phan
toms, The Fixx takes a firm grip
on the decade's music scene. This
band gets stronger with every
release as it holds fast to its own
distinct sound and explores its
boundaries.
The Fixx has always been a
band that conveys feelings with
out using a strict lyrical form. Not
many of their songs written by
vocalist Cy Cumin have a cer
tain story line. Rather, they pres
ent a keen sense of calculating
syntax.

my own visual image of the
scng. During "Synchronicity II"
the effects made me feel a3 if I
was actually in a Scottish fog.
This show is for everyone who
likes different forms of art.
"If you like music videos
youll like this," Frederick said.
However, the laser images are
a different art form. Lasers
seem more mentally stimulat
ing than music video's.
The show b produced by
Laser Optics and uses a tech
nologically advanced laser pro
jection, said Jack Dunn, man
ager of Mueller Planetarium.
The show b visually exciting
and well worth the ticket price.
"The Laser Fantasy" will be
