Pyrotechnically Speaking - Quick-fire Edition!




Quick-fire Edition #2: Pyromusical or Traditional?

What does it mean?
A pyromusical is not simply fireworks and music. It is the fusion of two creative mediums.  Music is chosen specifically to compliment the fireworks and fireworks chosen to compliment the music.  Pyromusicals are shot electronically and are timed to the millisecond. 

A traditional show can be fired electronically or hand-fired. The show is choreographed with peaks and valleys and a grand finale, just without the musical component. A traditional fireworks show can be shot with music play, but that doesn't make it a pyromusical!




James:  Pyromusical.  It takes much more talent to do a show choreographed to music.

Leiah: Pyromusical.  The ability to pair effects with music and create magic.  When done right, there is nothing like it.

Ross:  Either works fine. A good pyromusical is preferred. But if the show is crap and it’s a pyromusical; the crap is just enhanced making it more disappointing.

Adam: Pyromusicals can give you some breathtaking marriages of light and sound.

Candice :  Pyromusical,  Music helps people connect to a show. Fireworks are gorgeous but there is nothing like a perfectly timed hit in a powerful track. Gives me goose bumps every time.

Kelly: Musical
