meditations on perihelion

exploring the world of science through the world of sound

"Meditations on Perihelion" is an immersive presentation featuring full-dome video partnered with live and recorded music. The work is presented in 7 movements that explore the different possibilities of connections between science and art.

The performance explores the world of science through the world of sound in an immersive multi-media experience. The music and video are informed and inspired by astronomical data and are intended as a starting point for the audience’s imagination. The focus of this iteration has been on the three background cycles (Milankovitch Cycles) that govern our planet’s orbital alignment and seasonal changes.

The performance will offer a post-show discussion about individual interpretations of the show, details about construction, and general ideas of arts integration.
