So one of the guys I fire fireworks with has instructed us to ';Spam the hell out of this video" So here, it is, our new years eve fireworks musical display:

I must be very old fashioned ... fireworks to me are .... well .. just fireworks....and should be enjoyed as such 

Modern fireworks are simply stunning and that display is no exception ... but the music is just lost on me 

We saw in the new year on St Ives harbour beach and the council saw fit to provide a brilliant display at midnight - Mortars are just incredible - the bursts look like they are coming at you and I can see the art of the timing to put a mortar up and then lay something below it and the technology is just amazing ... displays fanning left to right as they put shells up and layer upon layer of bursts ... really stunning .... thousands of people in spontaneous applause at the end.

But the music .... turn it off for me

Very impressive. I thought the music was well matched with the visuals - a real synesthetic treat for the senses.

I particularly liked the fireworks around the 6 minute mark that went straight up then shot off to one side at crazy angles and then the ones at 6:40 that looked like pretty blue anti aircraft batteries opening up - though there did seem to be a lot of variety compared to some displays I';ve seen in the past which was nice.

Off to post on facebook now - so if you suddenly get loads more hits, that';s all my doing, honest

I';m not surprised to hear the music isn';t to everyone';s tastes though - who was the audience composed of that you were performing in front of? I';d better not post what I';m listening to right now (woops https://soundcloud.com/fexomat/fexomat-end-times-nocturne)

Hah, no jobs unfortunately, it takes a long time to get on shows like this, been firing for years, and its taken me 2-3 years to convince the guys that run these displays that im worthy of this size show. I just rig though, I dont design or organise.

As the vimeo description says, its a ';high profile client'; that basically means, I cant tell you who it was, but it was only about 15 people ;-)
