Abstract
This document provides a brief history and overview of interactive lighting design in musical compositions – including the history, implementation, and development of original works. The document outlines how composer Bryan Wysocki developed a set of tools, known as the Toolbox, for interactive lighting design in Max/MSP. With the Toolbox, composers can now incorporate lighting design into their compositions and performers can now realize and perform older and modern compositions that use interactive lighting. The document will outline the functions of the Toolbox, and how Bryan Wysocki has used the Toolbox in a new piece for solo percussion and multimedia, Playing with Shadows.
