Way Cool. This is similar to 'lazer light shows' shown here at the HMNS, but usually to rock music. Usually "classical" music is associated with or to boring old white guys and conservative quiet sanctums devoid of any personality. I've never understood why Walt and Stanly have been the two with any notarity, who have attempted to pair "classical" music and cool.

Yeah dude, just once I'd like to go to the symphony and see a guy with spiked hair and face piercings playing a neon green cello in the third row.

Well, why not? Some of the composers of the last two centuries and probably before that were considered off-beat, and worse. I think it is kinda fun to remember that symphony music was once considered avant garde.
