This instrument is a solar-powered geodesic prism that responds to the ambient amount of light in a space. I developed it by playing in different indoor/outdoor locations, from under porch awnings to open fields on sunny days, listening to how the distinct light sources sparked unique sounds.
Special thanks to InterMusicSF and Sl(e)ight Ensemble for commissioning a piece with this instrument for their California Ecology concert program, and to the Djerassi Resident Artist Program for the time and space to develop the prototype.
