In 1968 Australian projection artist Hugh McSpedden began shooting 8mm film. By the 1970s his films magnified into large-scale projections using as many as 40 or more projectors.

This limited edition CD/DVD package contains a documentary of The Light Show produced and directed by Andrew Garton, a glimpse into Hugh's work with extracts from a 2012 performance event highlighting his fluid and multiple projector arrays. It also includes the entire soundtrack by Sun-Bus-5, remixed by Chip Wardale and mastered by Simon Polinski at Sing Sing Studios, Melbourne.
