Rochester Museum &
Science Center Strasenburgh Planetarium Features Radiohead Laser Saturdays in August
ROCHESTER,
NY—Radiohead Laser plays each
Saturday night in August in the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC)
Strasenburgh Planetarium dome. Audience members lose themselves in the ethereal
and
electronic-style rock music
of Radiohead accompanied by brilliant laser lights. Shows appear at 9:30pm and
last nearly and hour.
Radiohead Laser, created
by RMSC staff, features songs such as "Creep," "Lotus Flower," "Paranoid
Android," "High and Dry," "Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box," among
others. See
the full list of songs on the RMSC website. The public selected the Radiohead Laser show theme by popular vote during a contest that
the RMSC held last year. The contest was part of the United Way ROC
the Day initiative in December 2011.
An exciting virtual environment, visitors
experience immersive video effects and watch colorful light dance among the stars on the inner surface of the huge
Planetarium dome.
Laser beams pulse along with the psychedelic music,
creating a perfect pattern. "Saturday Night Laser"
show themes change monthly. Admission is $7 for adults and $6 for seniors, college students,
students ages 5–18 and RMSC members. Children under age five
are not admitted to "Saturday Night Laser" shows.
