  • Emmanuel Ghent

  • The music is not interesting at all, but the movement is beautiful.

  • gracias por el video ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ y que querian decir????

  • It's worth pointing out too that both the sound and the lighting were controlled by the same computer output, from the GROOVE hybrid computer system, as Val said.

    Phosphones may well have been the first instance of computer-controlled theatrical lighting, and with lighting in sync with the music, via punched paper tape technology, as well as of course both sound and light sync'd to the dance.

    This is just an excerpt of a longer work.

  • the music is good.

  • Phosphones was composed by Emmanuel Ghent, with choreography by Mimi Garrard and lighting by James Seawright. This is from a live performance at Riverside Church, New York City, on May 19, 2000. It was at the 35th anniversary retrospective of the Mimi Garrard Dance Company.

    The complete performance of Phosphones can be found on the Winter 2008 Computer Music Journal DVD.

    Ghent composed Phosphones in 1970-1 on the GROOVE system (designed by Max Mathews and FR Moore) at Bell Labs, NJ.

  • is there more to it?
