Materials: Par Can Lighting fixtures, Sound to Light Unit, Amplifier & Cables, Smoke Machine [dimensions variable]

The piece combines stage lighting, a smoke machine, and an 8-hour and 46-minute audio sequence that plays every chord from David Bowie's Little Black Songbook as simple four-note arpeggios. It progresses chronologically through each of Bowie's songs, from the first note of "Absolute Beginners" to the last of "Ziggy Stardust."
