For Phillipe Wozniak's version of Prometheus 2015, I developed a series of short videos from the landscape, and urban settings. I am onstage with the orchestra using VJ software Resolume Arena with an AKAI controller to coordinate moving photographs, layered imagery and moving light to correspond with the music. The colors shift in speed, intensity and transparency in concert with the movements: Will of the Spirit, Humanity, Dreams, Damnation, and Freeing of Prometheus. Wozniak based his composition on Alexander Scriabin's orchestral work, The symphony "Prometheus: the Poem of Fire (1910)" which was the first composition to include notation for lights, interlacing color with sound to create multi-sensorial harmony.
