We just returned from the Western Alliance Conference of planetarium professionals from the western states regionals (PPA, GPPA, SWAP, and RMPA) in Kansas City, MO. There, we had the privilege of showing off excerpts from the upcoming SpacePark360: Infinity fulldome show being produced by Dome3D, and utilizing new compositions by Geodesium. Mark has been working steadily on scoring the show in recent months. “The Dome3D guys have come up with some really interesting new scenes and concepts for this show,” he said. “Each one has given me some new directions to take the music—which I hope people will find intriguing.”
Check out some preliminary mixes Mark has made for three of the nine rides show here: http://
We also want to thank our hosts at the Arvin Gottlieb Planetarium at Union Station in Kansas City for hosting a fine meeting (ncluding stellar speakers, a great tour of a nearby brewery, and incredibly good meals!). We also appreciate Ash Enterprises showing Losing the Dark to WAC attendees. Special thanks go to Spitz, Inc. for inviting us to use their SciDome system to show Chaos and Order to the assembled WAC members. It was quite a treat to see these programs on two different systems.
It was good to see our friends and colleagues in Kansas City and swap notes about shows and production and we came away with some new ideas for fulldome shows to produce! Stay tuned!
