Before I launch in the musical side of things it may be of interest to you that Aether originally was the personification of the "upper sky", space and heaven, in Greek mythology. Now you know.“CAN YOU SEE SOUND”
“DO YOU HEAR COLOUR”
“CAN YOU TASTE THE BASS”

So what can we expect from Luciano's Æther Live project? A little research reveals that the Chilean DJ/producer will be taking on the role of conductor leading Cadenza musicians Reboot, Lee Van Dowski, Mirko Loko, the Digitaline duo and Swiss drummer, Omri Hason, into a multi-media performance which eventually ends in one big live jam. The visual effects have been created by the London live video designers and performers Microchunk. Described as a complex mixture of music, video and light intended to thoroughly disturb our idea of music, Luciano explains: "Æther is a live concert based on technology and the senses. The idea is to finally make people understand what it is to make electronic music".
More on the project from the Cadenza site:
"The show is both conceptual and ground breaking. The evolving narrative of the visuals will represent colour theories in 4 movements. Visual content will span diverse subjects to accentuate the way light is used to interpret the sounds. This is a rehearsed disciplined show to exacting technical standards and pushes the limits of software and hardware for both the audio and visual elements."
Æther world premier at Monegros Desert Festival, Spain 18 July 2009
Luciano presents Æther close the Crawdaddy Tent on Friday night (11:00-12:00).

the term aether (or ether) was also appropriated by natural philosophers for centuries to describe the supposed medium through which light travelled. Its existence was unexpectedly disproved by Michelson and Morley's 1879 experiment to measure the "ether drag" on light. This subsequently showed that light can pervade a vacuum (and travels at c. 300,000 km / s).
