In Situ: Alpenglow
Apr 1, 2016 - 10:00pm Alpenglow creates an experience of sound and light for the audience. They have translated their record into a visual display of light by using reverse projections through particulate matter.. The light environment is intended to visually represent the band’s sound, and to transform any performance space into a zone of dual-sensory immersion. After losing control of a few too many crowds in rock venues, Alpenglow’s Elori Saxl-Kramer created this homemade light show with the intention of bringing audience members further into the heads of the performers. In today’s world of the ubiquitous image, it can almost seem as though people can fully enjoy something that only appeals to one of their senses.
