Description: In "Laser concert" the music activates a laser display system which projects five-color laser light images. Sensitive to sound frequencies of more than 3000 cycles from live music, this totally unique system enables the composers to generate a continuously-changing sound-image mix of unprecedented richness and beauty. The work has been performed in Iowa City, Mexico City, and Bonn, West Germany.
Notes: New York premiere of "Laser concert", David Tudor, Lowell Cross, Carson Jeffries.
