I just released version 0.1.0 of Afterglow so that other interested people can start exploring it.
Interested parties can find the repository here:

>>From the online manual:
Afterglow is a lighting controller designed to support live coding, written in Clojure, intended to enable people to produce spectacular and highly customizable light shows using modern stage and effect lighting, and which are related in deep ways to the phrasing of music being played. (Its creator is a DJ and producer of light and laser shows by avocation.) Currently, the lighting effects and fixture definitions are written and organized through Clojure code, so you will either need to learn Clojure or work with a Clojure programmer to create new ones, but they are controlled through MIDI control surfaces or Open Sound Control, so once they are set up, there is great flexibility in how you can perform them.
Someday a user interface for building shows and fixture definitions may be created, either within Afterglow, or as a companion project, but that is not currently planned. For now the focus is on building rich user interfaces for controlling shows, such as the Ableton Push mapping and web interface, while using the concise expressive power of Clojure for writing the fixture definitions, effects, and cues.
Afterglow communicates with the lighting hardware using the Open Lighting Architecture, so it supports a wide variety of communication methods and interfaces. Information about installing OLA is included in the project README.
