With all the excitement surrounding the James Webb Space Telescope, I felt a certain kinship with it when I saw a video describing how it unfolds and sits above a sun shade, which reminded me of the “Twin Pole Sunshade” used on Skylab to literally keep the astronauts cool. James sourced the audio for this moment and we chopped it up and put it through the Quindar Machine. This and nearly all the live video was constructed by me during countless hours learning Resolume Arena on the bus and in hotels on Wilco tours.
No Quindar show was ever the same twice. The goalposts are there but the details would change every show, which I always thought was a big plus. The video was the same. It would take far too much programming and fun out of it if we just made a movie and scored it. So we decided to just do it on the fly and thanks to Jeremy Roth, we made it happen on practically every show. We even played a funeral party with projections on the top of an event tent. I digress. This video is a snapshot of what would happen during our live show. It feels weird that it’s always the same now.
Please enjoy this meditation on technology, utilizing technology, I guess.
