I'd settle for an old fashioned four color chase light. Back in the
eighties they came out with four color chase lights with a sixteen
pattern modulator. Remember those? About 150 lights long?  In the last
five years they cheapened them up to three colors and now you can
hardly find them anymore. Guess I have to fix the few I've got.

Speaking of the music, what's the name of that tune?  It's really catchy!

Also watch the lights on the grass just in the foreground and you can see
the shadows change, which obviously show a time "time lapse" or jumping.  So
it's kinda fake but accurate, in the parlance of our time.

Well some may say its a fake but in reality it is actually quite easy to do.

It works on the same system as disco lights that can change beat and color
buy the beat of the music. its all just computer controlled. all the
different light segments are hooked up to a computer controlled switching
box. the beat of the music would dictate which segments to turn on and off.
the hard part would be in telling the computer which lights to turn on or
off depending on the part of the song that is playing. but it could all be
done easily with computer synchronization. It would be a bear running each
segment of lights to an individual box. That had to be a lot of work!

What I read was it is midi. So I guess you could have a set of lights
for each instrument.
