The next generation of professional laser show software
Proven on major productions including Glastonbury Festival, the Royal Albert Hall, and Eventim Apollo. Cross-platform for Windows and Mac.
Liberation is a powerful and expressive laser show application for Windows and Mac, created by BAFTA-winning artist and programmer Seb Lee-Delisle.
Design, build, and save laser shows for free - no time limits or locked features. When you’re ready to run real hardware, a paid licence unlocks laser and DMX output.
Built for demanding real-world productions, Liberation combines modern workflow design, high performance, and full feature parity across both platforms. Liberation represents a new industry standard for modern laser production.
Now with LaserCube support, timeline programming, timecode synchronisation, and Capture visualisation integration.*
“Liberation is the way forward.”
- Andy Stentiford, FunktionCreep / 21CC Group (Creamfields, Radio 1)

Proven on world-class productions
Liberation is engineered in high-performance C++ and proven in demanding real-world productions.
At Glastonbury, it ran 90 lasers from a single computer for three nights straight without missing a beat.
Whether you’re designing a large-scale festival rig or refining a smaller installation, Liberation makes it fast and intuitive to align zones, map projection surfaces, and build shows with confidence.
