I love lasers and music. I just do. So I almost wet myself when I saw this great video of a $5 laser show:
Full instructions on how to make your own are here.
Or Dr Altman will take you through all the necessary steps right here:
Perhaps the best thing is the discovery (in the comments here) is that all you really need to do is mount a tiny mirror on your speaker cone and point the laser at it to get a sound activated laser working like a dream.

Hey Ian,
Thanks for the link! Putting the mirror on the speaker does indeed work great – I just finished up a new version of the laser show that uses that approach, and it’s awesome.

I just realized that I misspelled your name – apologies Iain! As a Geoff who is constantly referred to as a Jeff, this hits particularly close to home.
