Chromaconditional features Kevin Harris, Mike Murphy, Jeremy Kannapell, and Adrian McBride.

Signals from these circuits will, in turn, be sent to a series of modular sound synthesizers controlled by three musicians and producing six independent channels of synthesized sound.
For the performance, I built a custom light to voltage converter, designed by Dr. Mabuse:
