dark side of the rainbow where the price of admission is your mind

The techno-art of synchronicity was first born in the 1960s with William Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch. Burroughs, obsessed with the art of montage, began playing music to unrelated film clips with impressive results. His mixed-media montage eventually became integral to the 60’s music scene.

Flash forward…past two decades of balding FM DJs hosting Pink Floyd laser shows in squeaky-clean planetariums…to the early 90s. A group of college students frequenting the Pink Floyd user group, alt.music.pink-floyd, came upon a truly new idea: play Pink Floyd’s classic album, Dark Side of the Moon to MGM’s classic movie, The Wizard of Oz. A buzz got started that was eventually picked up by Boston radio station WZLX and the rest is history: Dark Side of the Rainbow became a national phenomenon. Thousands of popcorn munchin’ music fans busted out their home stereo/VCR technology and geared-up for an evening’s worth of synapse-searing synchronicity. Tonight, you can experience variations of this film synchronicity in our own special theater.
