Bernard Szajner's Laser Harp

"The first laser harp ever made was a framed laser harp. It was created 1981 by the frenchman Bernard Szajner and was named “Syringe” from a science fiction book."

"Technical explainations:
His harp was powered by a Spectra Physics 5 Watts argon ion laser. The beam was sent through a fibre optics conductor to a line grating, where the beam was split into the 12 “strings” of laser light"

Via Frederic
"The synth behind Bernard Szajner is a RSF Modular"

  1. The laser harp must be fun to watch at a show, but it's really just a glorified triggering device. It would be funny if it were triggering a cheesy trumpet patch or something.
