“I create key peak moments in response to the music to bring about harmony of light and sound. During the song ‘Crying Light’ I slowly immerse Antony within a cone of laser light. It’s as if he is projected as a hologram and the effect is quite haunting. During the set I take the audience with us into different heavenly modes with the use of lasers projected into crystal. There have been hair-raising moments of sheer beauty.” – Chris Levine
