Hydrogen Jukebox

By Philip Glass, words by Allen Ginsberg. Directed by Elkhanah Pulitzer, lighting design by Kevin Landesman. Produced by West Edge Opera at the Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley, California, July, 2014.

Analog video capture was used (rather clumsily — the Technical Director's digital capture card didn't work in the Isadora Mac) to relay the supertitles from the supertitle computer to the projector for display on the wall above the singers. NASA images were the source for a starry and nebulosic montage during the final song, "Father Death Blues."
