What is Afterglow?

Afterglow is a live coding environment for creating light shows, written in Clojure, intended to enable people to produce spectacular, fluid effects using modern stage and effect lighting, and which are related in deep ways to the phrasing of music being played. (Its creator is a DJ and producer of light and laser shows by avocation.) Currently, the lighting effects and fixture definitions are written and organized through Clojure code, so you will either need to learn Clojure or work with a Clojure programmer to create new ones, but they are controlled through MIDI control surfaces or Open Sound Control, so once they are set up, there is great flexibility in how you can perform them.

What is this Wiki?

This started out as the place the Afterglow documentation was developed. That has now been moved into the main project, freeing up the wiki as a place for community discussion, questions, ideas, sharing of effects, and whatever else people might dream up. So please, join the conversation! Edit a page, and if there isn't yet a page covering what you want to talk about, create it!
