Kosmik-Klaus and his solar sea slide show

About Me


Kosmik Klaus and his solar sea slide showis a german, psychedelic, 100% handmade lightshow. We only use Slide-, Overhead- and Super8-Projectors. Picture manipulation and stroboscopics, manual, by hand. No beamers, no computers, no machines used during show! We often perform with bands/musicians that we've never heard before, and especially with musicians who like to play improvised music

With Zone Six at the Grande Filiale Film-Festival, Speyer, 28.12.2003

Above is a picture from the Zone Six gig, 30. Sept. 2005, Cellarium, Knittlingen, Germany.

Psychedelic Lights, Solingen, 2004
