“The Explorer’s Edge” features works about the experience of exploration, by land, sea, in the Arctic regions, in flight, or at the edges of the universe. Jeff Rice, guest composer, premieres his work Madame Moth in homage to Pauline Oliveros’ Bye Bye Butterfly, and will include live processing of the ultrasonic wing beats of wax moths alongside the voices of Solaris. Peter Bracilano, lighting designer, will create various atmospheres in the resonant space of Good Shepherd Center.
