Firefly Music: July 18 and 19, 2024

FMInstagram2024codes

Join us July 18 & 19th, 2024 for Firefly Music, in a livestream from the Fountain Creek Nature Center. Firefly Music utilizes code to turn Colorado’s elusive firefly flashes into sounds, which are paired with live musicians for Fountain Creek’s yearly firefly night hike. This year, we’re excited to be joined by the genius musician and philosopher Roger Green, formerly of The Czars and Porlolo, and currently a professor and author of A Transatlantic Political Theology of Psychedelic Aesthetics: Enchanted Citizens. We’re also excited that Victoria Lundy will be joining us again on theremin - Victoria has played with numerous bands since the 1990’s, and her ethereal sounds are the perfect compliment to the magic of the fireflies flashes.

We hope to turn Firefly Music into a yearly event that travels around Colorado, to help protect our native and unique firefly species! If you’d like to help out, please donate!

ABOUT THIS PERFORMANCE
For this performance, each member of the ensemble will played note only, one at a time, to create a collective emergent ambient synth drone soundscape filled with continuous notes, tone clusters, movement, and dynamics.

This immersive popup experience was live mixed through a four speaker system with a sub and feature supporting ambient lighting effects. The mix and panning were done by the performers in real-time as a result of the ensemble actively listening and adjusting.

I will be playing Firefly Music, a collaboration between Lauri Lynnxe Murphy and Ben Coleman

Firefly Music is a project that Lauri Lynnxe Murphy first started working on over 10 years ago in grad school at The Ohio State University, watching the fireflies come out and wishing that there was a way to share them with her friends in Colorado. Little did she know (as do most Coloradans) that we have fireflies HERE, and their numbers have been growing!

Lauri is  thankful to her collaborator, the incredible Ben Coleman, and excited to hear the collaborations with Victoria Lundy's theremin, and the incomparable Rare Byrd$ featuring Korryne Da'nell Coleman and Kheya Lenay Yeager.
