Eternal Light is the first fundraiser for the Lumonics Legacy Project which aims to protect and preserve more than 200 light sculptures created by the late Mel and Dorothy Tanner, the founders of Lumonics. The money raised will help create a sustainable legacy and future, establishing a Friends Of Lumonics non-profit, and ultimately creating partnerships to share this art with the world.
We truly appreciate Nate Lappegaard (DJ Ishe), Ginger Perry, L.A. Zwicky, and Nicole Douglas for organizing this gathering.
Ginger Perry is a veteran open-format DJ from Denver with a strong affinity for darker tracks and a deep knowledge of what it takes to ignite a party atmosphere.
L.A. Zwicky is a Denver-based DJ and artist. On the scene since 2010, L.A.’s DJ sets cut across genres of contemporary globe-trotting electronic music weaving together unique finds alongside sparkly dance-worthy tunes to bring you a multi-genre party experience that will leave your hearts pumping and your body moving.
Nicole Douglas is a welcomed sound healing practitioner here in Colorado. Her Integral Sound Healing approach is particularly effective at triggering your body’s relaxation response, which can help alleviate the symptoms of chronic stress and promote balance throughout your entire being.
DJ Ishe, also known by his real name Nate Lappegaard, stands as an influential figure in the US electronic music scene, with a notable presence in genres such as dubstep, drum and bass (DNB), and breaks. His extensive body of work, which includes over 100 tracks since 2008, is more than a testament to his skill as a musician. It serves as an homage to the rich, diverse origins of electronic music, acknowledging the varied communities that have contributed to its evolution and vibrancy.
Central to Ishe’s ethos is a strong commitment to elevating voices that have historically been marginalized within the music industry. This commitment extends beyond his musical creations into the realm of advocacy, aiming for a future where the electronic music industry celebrates and reflects the diversity of its artistic community. Through his efforts, Ishe seeks to foster a more inclusive electronic music scene that honors its global influences and roots.
Ishe is not merely an artist pushing genre boundaries but also a pivotal advocate for change, championing a vision for the electronic music scene that is as diverse and eclectic as its history warrants. By balancing respect for the past with advocacy for a more inclusive future, Ishe solidifies his role as a seminal figure in the ongoing evolution of electronic music across the US.
Lumonics is among the first and longest-running light art projects in the U.S. The essence of Lumonics is in its ability to inspire creativity and elicit a profound sense of wonder. We will be concluding the evening with a Lumonics Immersed, orchestrated live by Marc Billard.
“We are honored to present the most-up-to date form of the Lumonics multisensory experience that the late pioneering light artists, Dorothy and Mel Tanner, began in 1969. Marc Billard worked closely with the Tanners for many years, and his creative input has enabled the art form to evolve. We are gratified to not only continue the art form but to [evolve it]. The audience members are also collaborators as they take this multisensory journey with us.”
