Our New Years party was complete with contextual beat-sensitive dance lighting. Dance along the wall and you’re spotlit with a dynamic colorful burst of light. The light bursts along with the beat of the music.

The countdown used BubbleType, a project I worked on earlier in the semester. Dynamic motion typography based on a particle system. This let the countdown itself be set in motion by the beat of the music.

For our countdown we played a portion of the DFA Remix of Gorillaz’ Dare. The 120BPM lined up nicely with the countdown.

I hope everyone had a fantastic evening, and best wishes for the new year! May 2008 be the best year yet.
