I decided to do a version of this song for the  Rocky Mountain Synthesizer Meet (RMSM) collaboration with  Scotland-based Moray Firth Synthesizer Club (MFSC) ONLINE Transatlantic Concert & Synth Meet on Saturday August 3rd, and realized I'd never completed the video I had started it when I first recorded it. 

Well, here it is. 

There's a great deal of interest in Colorado's fireflies right now. Lauri Lynnxe Murphy along with some great support orchestrated an amazing event. She hopes to make this an annual event.

Here are two stories about Firefly Music 2024: 

Colorado bio-artist endeavors to create music with fireflies

An artist teams with scientists, musicians and lightning bugs for a new online show

(The Denver Post)

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!

Video highlights from an hour long improvised ambient drone concert by the Synth Patrol: Drone Ensemble recorded live at the Rocky Mountain Synthesizer Meet on January 21st, 2024 at the Junkyard Social Club in Boulder.

This was shot on an Insta360 X3 and edited by Mark Mosher using Insta360 app and LumaFusion. The audio source is from a live board recording from the event mastered by Méchant Métrique.

To see the full 1 hour performance with two camera angles with the board recording visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQdBo8C0ooA. There is also a copy of this audio recording on Soundcloud at https://soundcloud.com/markmosher/synth-patrol-drone-ensemble-jan-24-2024 .

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.

This is a live recording of a piece called “Interdimensional Breach” from a set we performed as the Carbon Dioxide Ensemble at the Rocky Mountain Synthesizer Meet’s 2023 Halloween Synth Concert at the Junkyard Social Club in Boulder. It was improvised and recorded in one take in front of a live audience.

Members of the Carbon Dioxide Ensemble include Thomas Lundy on Copper Heart articulated with dry ice (with pickup mic for live sampling), Victoria Lundy on Theremin and Live Electronics, and Mark Mosher on Synths, Live Sampling, and Heart FX performed on iPad Pro 11" M1 with a Scarlet 4I4 interface. Our performances are informed and inspired in equal parts by Pierre Schaeffer and Musique Concrète, and the Krell Electronic Tonalities of Bebe and Louis Barron.

I created a video for Rocky Mountain Synth Meet May 27 2023 Drone Day, part of an International Drone Day,
an annual celebration of drone, community, and experimental sounds!

Sound is multi tracked Theremin, Reaktor Molecular, in Ableton. Video was made in (of all things) Adobe Photoshop. 

Experimental art takes over Lafayette Electronic Arts Festival

Here is the  Carbon Dioxide Ensemble’s latest performance captured in 4K video with multiple angles with interactive visuals by synthesist Mark Mosher.

This video was originally presented as part of the The Rocky Mountain Synthesizer Meet 2022 Drone Day celebration.

I had the pleasure of playing a couple pieces at Opera On Tap's variety show at Enigma Bazaar in April 2022. It was fun to play with a live accompanist.
