WEST SEATTLE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS: New music-synched display ‘Austin Street Lights’

Just out of the WSB inbox:

The video is from Mark Bader in Gatewood, who explains:

I’ve enjoyed putting up Christmas lights for years, but this year, at the urging of my wife, I’ve taken the plunge and synchronized my lights to music. I have a collection of songs – some that I’ve written and recorded – that are synced to lights, and you can tune your car radio to 103.3 to hear the music. My style of sequencing is more gentle and slow, with washes of color and motion that match the mood of the music. I try to stay away from lots of flashing. A friend said of my show, “It’s just like Disney!”.

“Austin Street Lights” is at 3711 SW Austin St, and the show runs from 4 pm to 10 pm each night. Tune your radio to 103.3 to hear the music.

We are of course adding this to the WSB West Seattle Holiday Guide, where you’ll also find holiday concerts and other performances, Santa stops, tree lots, special events, church services, and more – we keep adding them as we get them – editor@westseattleblog.com – thank you!

    I drive by your house every night on my way home from work.  Your display is a lovely way to start my evenings.  Thanks, neighbor!

    I saw this light show last year.  I told a friend who had moved away
    from WSea to come back when visiting and drive by this house.  It was
    that special I thought.

    Then just this afternoon I was trying to describe it to a friend at the YMCA.  haha  Now I can refer him to this article. 

    I really, really appreciate the simple / less is more elegance.  (Not that putting this together is simple by any stretch.

    Thank you, Mark and Jo.

    That’s very impressive.  The music is wonderful and the lights and design are beautiful and wonderfully sync’d.

    I’ll need to get out there and see it in person

    Thankyou

    Thanks for all the nice comments everyone!  I enjoy the time I spend putting this all together, and am glad that many of you appreciate the result.  I’m already planning some upgrades for next year. 

    And Chris, I’ll be sure to thank my wife.  :)
