Announcing: The Astral Pastorales, a large-scale suite composed by Rob Mazurek and performed by Rob Mazurek’s Exploding Star Orchestra that unfolds as a celestial pastorale—an expansive sonic landscape where composition, improvisation, electronics, and spoken word merge into a single evolving field. This work is composed in-residence at Yerkes Observatory specifically for presentation in their awe-inspiring The Great Refractor Dome. Co-produced by Experimental Sound Studio & Instigation Festival. With support from International Anthem.

Ben LaMar Gay has been an integral member of the Instigation Festival community since its inception, so it’s only fitting we celebrate our ten year anniversary by having Ben as our artist-in-residence. Ben’s singular approach and sound will be highlighted in small groups across the first three nights [January 26-28th] of the festival, culminating on the fourth night [January 29th] with the premiere of his new composition for the sixteen-piece Instigation Orchestra, “Little By Little, One By One After Another”. This years orchestra will feature Jeff Albert, @b.o.asher , @flux_bikes , @helengillet , @lisaeverything , @ahatwich , @thestevelands , @stevemarquette , @abstractblack , @auroranealand , @dieselrockit , @reedmicj , Arif Smith, @yaddawould and @youngunkatie . Grab your festival pass now and watch this space as we roll out the full daily lineup featuring Instigation Orchestra small groups.
