Something that had crossed my mind a while ago, but did little more, was the idea of using the control voltages of analogue modular synthesizers to power LED lights. They both work around a 5volt architecture, so it seemed logical that the numerous ways of mangling electrical waveforms in modular synths, could be applied to the colour of LED's.
Caspers Light SynthAbove is the incarnation of my idea before I had it. Strange how this keeps happening, but anyways...
Though having a very "mod-synth-geek" look about it, in the setting of a darkened bedroom, it is nothing short of mesmerizing.
I'm sure you will agree these are both quite fascinating videos. I certainly feel more confident that the idea of using evolving light colours that correspond to sound will be something very appealing to the bedroom producer. Baring in mind my strong feeling is that this will improve the creative process, this is a great step in the right direction in terms of research and opens up a whole new avenue of possibility and reference for my project.
