A spontaneous and unrehearsed interview.

Hello, and happy holidays from Curiosityness.

Okay, it's me, Travis DeRose, the host of the show, Curiosityness, which is the show you're listening to,

where we interview

people who are interesting and we hear about what they have to say. So if you've ever been

curious or interested in those like crazy Christmas light displays that are synchronized to music,

you're going to learn how those are made right now.

Because I'm talking to Darren Vader of Extreme Lightscapes, who is one of the original

architects of this kind of stuff.

He's been doing this stuff for a while, and it's kind of a behind-the-scenes look at how

all that lighting and pyrotechnics, no, not really, but lighting and

how it all works and how it's synchronized the music, the different types of lighting,

the effects that you can get, how all this stuff kind of started. It's an interesting look at

all that kind of stuff because I've always been curious about how they're fun to watch, just to watch, but I love learning the behind-the-scenes stuff of how things

come about and how someone actually builds this stuff. So let's get into it. Here is Darren Vader

telling us about holiday light displays.

Darren, what's up?

Welcome to the show, man.

Hey, thanks for having me.

Yeah, stoked to talk.

This is a busy season for you.

Yeah, very busy.
