Empire State Building Light Show & Music: Alicia Keys Girl on Fire & Empire State of Mind

November 28, 2012 by Hollywoodite

Earlier this week, The Empire State Building made use of the Color Kinetics LED lighting system recently used to display the 2012 election results in real time.

The building was used Monday to display its first light show which involved a series of (rather rote) flashes in a display that could be seen for miles and Alicia Keys’ Girl on Fire and Empire State of Mind that was simulcast on several Clear Channel radio stations.

Here’s video one person took of the light show, in which you can hear them heaving from the cold, and here’s the description of the video.

The Empire State Building, to show off its new LED lights, put on its first ever light show on November 26, 2012 at 9PM. The light show was synchronized to Alicia Keys songs Girl is on Fire and Empire State of Mind.

The lighting system, created by Philips Color Kinetics, can generate 16 million colors, and create effects such as ripples, bursts, sweeps, sparkles, cross-fades, strobes and chasers.

Music in the background was playing on the radio which was simulcast on several radio stations in New York City at the same time. – via KTaylor TV YouTube.
