de/composition 1.2: Native Trees, Sonic Roots

de/composition 1.2: Native Trees, Sonic Roots is an immersive multimedia performance driven by ambient soundscapes, dynamic visuals, narrative storytelling and movement grounded in ecological stories. Real-time audio converted from the bio-electric inputs of trees and worms are merged with live electronic music and Latin folk percussion.

Led by composer and producer June Lopez, alongside narrator and contemporary dance performer Dr. Jamé McCray, with visual artists Samara Talkin and Neil Cippon, this evolving performance spotlights the surrounding environment of the Tookany/Tacony–Frankford Watershed.
