Fireflies promo image 1 v small.jpg

The fireflies orchestra builds on the technology that allows the co-ordination of a large number of intelligent electronic sound-object performers. The new microtonal composition draws on the sea and coastal countryside. Unique harmonies are found inside the natural and unintended-man-made sounds specific to the place and developed into the composition. The large number of sound objects creates the possibility of a complex and immersive experience. 

​

'A meeting point between ambient sound and composition, between sound and musical perception and between technology and nature.'

​

'Really beautiful and thought provoking piece.'

Installation at NN consumed a rather frightening quantity of electrical wire but saw the orchestra performing happily by the end of it!

Some confessions of the untidy building process... :)

Crazy large speaker inside this object makes this 

piece really heavy! Quite a powerhouse of the orchestra.

Last minute techy issues solved with string, cardboard tube and sticky tape. I seem to be particularly proud of this bit!

Initial investigations into a seagull derived chord. Plenty of analog

wire-ee chaos and plenty of digital (what do you call digital chaos?) involved in experiments like this!
