Where would dance music be without lasers? Who knows? I certainly don’t want to think about going to a premier dance music event that didn’t make use of any laser features. And if it were a Tiesto concert we wouldn’t have glow-sticks either, it’d just be a dude on stage with a strobe light in his hand and that is a world I don’t want to live in. But I digress, because there’s a point amongst all this, and that is that lasers rule! Oh and that today those little beams of glorious light are celebrating their fiftieth birthday. Pew!
As reported by tech-aficionados Gizmodo, it is fifty years to the day that clever chaps Arthur Leonard Schawlow and Charles Townes Hard registered the first patent for the laser. Since then lasers have of course become an integral part of modern life, infiltrating our homes in DVD and CD players, our PowerPoint presentations and of course our ears. Would there even be a trance movement without lasers? We shudder to think.
In our own tribute to the past fifty years of lasers in history, we’ve put together a very special salute to lasers. Check it out below and may the lasers be with you!
