Compact Discs

How does music incorporate with
fireworks and lasers in shows?

-Music from CDs is ripped onto computer programs and is played throughout the show

        -lasers motions and ability to turn on and off are controlled by created programs found on the same computer

                -the laser programs are linked with the music programs and follow the directions that are given as to what the lasers are to do with what notes in the song

        -fireworks nowadays are even set off accordingly with different music and the notes therein

                -rather than the previous way of using fuses to ignite a firework, a computer chip is used

                        -the computer chip controls when the firework will be ignited

                                -for example, a firework may be ignited as a loud drum is hit during a certain part in a song
