Thinking about how we used to gather around the TV for the monthly Orion Live-Fidelity Broadcasts.

We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.
Everyone on our dorm floor huddled around a 25-inch Radiant Television console with the blinds drawn.

Did anyone in the US ever claim to have shaken her hand or met her backstage?

We had a Zenith console in our basement. My brother and I held up lighters to the TV screen during 'Threshold'.

It felt so real. The sound of the snare echoing through an imaginary stadium... Orion's acoustic engineers were geniuses.

A physical body that could be touched never existed. The broadcast was a real-time holographic synthesis fed from the Burbank basement.
