Description

A 30 minute video program by Iasos. "CRYSTAL VISTA" is Iasos' visualizations to four of his own musical compositions. These musical visions take you on an other-worldy journey filled with highly colorful special-effects and heavenly images, creating a captivating and uplifting half-hour experience that remains fascinating even with repeated viewing. "CRYSTAL VISTA" truly transports you on a journey through inter-dimensional spaces.
          In 1982, Iasos, along with his colleague Ken Jenkins, began what is now known as  "New Age" Video, with Ken releasing his video "Beauty", and Iasos releasing his video "Crystal Vista". Ken and Iasos both collaborated on each other's project.
          The VISUALS: The visuals are a blend of special effects and still-images. The still images include many of the best images by most of the top visionary artists of our age, including Gilbert Williams and many others. In fact, many people think of this video program as a showcase for most of the top visionary painters of our age. Other images are nature photography and special-effects photography. The dynamic special effects include computer graphics, video effects, optical effects by Ken Jenkins, and also numerous film-based effects. Ken Jenkins was the assistant-producer for this project. This video is so densely packed with interesting visuals, that even with repeated viewing, you can continue to notice new things each time you view it.    


Note:
 Since this was created in 1980, you should not expect the video-quality or the special-effects-sophistication of current DVDs.  The visual quality is somewhat like that of a VHS tape.  However, we did re-master it digitally as cleanly as we could.

"The dvd was a wonderful experience! I watched it in the afternoon and evening and I found that when the room is dark the colours are that much more vibrant. Something as simple as having the room dark while watching the video really brought out the visuals--which are beautiful.
Also Iasos it's like I visited another dimension compliments of your work. You can see it is very detailed and I know your dvd that you are working on "Realms of Light' will be beautiful too. Some of the pulsating forms were familiar to me for some reason. Anyways it was a real treat to say the least.
I'm very excited about this dvd and so I am going to order one for my friend whom I'm sure will love it. Also I am going to lend my copy to my friend at Hospice to see if she would be interested in having a room set up to play this dvd for clients. If so I will buy Hospice a copy for them. I love your work Iasos and I love promoting it!"

I have just been watching My "Crystal Vista" DVD and, as always when I listen to your music and experience your art, I feel very much closer to God. I had to write and say love you! Those paintings are so awesome. I've long been a fan of Gilbert Williams. I have his "Moon Temple" poster hanging on my office wall, right in front of my desk. And all the other artists are fantastic too. I can't believe the date at the end of the video says 1982! It seems so new!!!!!

Hi lasos

I have just found your site and it’s wonderful.

A fountain of crystals and fireworks reminds me of trip I had in Australia about Six years ago. I remember leaving my ego and body and ascended into a realm that was pure like that video. I believe this is what happens to us all when we leave this reality. We somehow forget the person we’ve been shaped into through life’s journey and become pure consciousness again.

I am artist myself but I thought it would be impossible to reproduce that vision. You are unbelievable.

Thanks for bring this work into this world.

J.P.F.


The kaleidoscopic patterns in crystal vista are to me the perfect represeentation or definition -visually- of the word SPLENDOR! Utterly amazing.
Actually SPLENDOR And AMAZEment.
And the room with the white floor and the colors streaming and coming from the horizon.... GOD!!! Bliss, beauty!!! Totally amazing

Vos compositions ont un parfum d'éternité, elles m'accompagnent depuis des années. Votre musique ouvre une fenêtre sur le divin Royaume qui est en nous. Merci Iasos !? REPLY

(approximate English translation from French):
Your compositions have a fragrance of eternity, they accompany me for years. Your music opens a window to the divine Kingdom within us. Thank you Iasos!
