Churchlands light display synced to music.

View the video

From YouTube:

26,500 light bulbs, 128 lighting channels, 5 kilometres of electrical cable and 220 man hours to set up has resulted in thousands of excited children and adults viewing this amazing Christmas lights extravaganza.

Every light is synched to music which is heard by motorists on a limited

range FM frequency as they drive past this home at 5 Bishop Riley Way, Churchlands Western Australia.

Drive by until December 28 and help us raise $10,000 for children's charities.

Not sure how money will be raised, but the video is worth a look.

The cynic in me says this is yet another attention-grabbing stunt by Kym Illman, owner of Messages on Hold and owner of this property in Churchlands.  Not content with sticking his Messages on Hold signs in the line of sight of any camera he sees, he is now supposedly pimping for charity.

Still, it is his dime, and if he brings a bit of Christmas joy to the people of Perth, good luck to him!

I think the big fat “Messages on Hold” logo in the middle of the display answers the question of who paid for it.The only true charity is that which you don’t admit to.

“attention-grabbing stunt” - nahh I thought it was quite subtle and restrained ;-)

I’d hate to be living on the same street as him. I can imagine there will be a constant flow of traffic every evening till Christmas. Especially once this is picked up and featured on all the TV news stations.

I reckon the “charity” that will most benefit from this is Synergy.

Copycat. Could at last have programmed the lights to an original song…

Where can l get it from as l have seen the same music application used on other displays around the world.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

If you found other displays use it then they should have provided links to where you can get it from.
