"Dawn’s Early Light" by Louis M. Brill
Lumia projections are very special if presented in a very slow undulating movement as the light forms unfold, shape shifting from one sensuous image to another. Often to extend the visual presence of animated Lumia a musical track accompanies the Lumia motion which is no different than adding a musical score to a film. When music is played with a Lumia composition, it adds a narrative, emotional and dynamic presence to the abstract moving light as the mind attempts to synchronize the sound and visuals being presented.
In presentation as watched by its audience there is a transition where it appears the music is driving the Lumia imagery. Here the audience's experience becomes transcendent of both the music and the visuals as they are blended into a singular experiential moment. Enjoy.
