about

GRAMMY Award and Pulitzer Prize–nominated composer Andy Akiho and Guggenheim Award–winning photographer Stuart Rome share an immersive collaboration that pairs music and photography inspired by ancient trees. With performances featuring Dover Quartet, Ian Rosenbaum, and Kristin Lee, Oculus reveals the mystical world of nature through inspired musical visions of roots, nighttime walks, and the geometrical binding that we all share. A twist of fate brings together Akiho and Rome, who encountered each other at the American Academy of Rome and were immediately drawn to each other's work.

Evergreen

I saw them perform for free in Bryant Park in NYC; I had no idea who they were; boy was I pleased. By the way, Attacca is a musical term that means to literally attack a note. dlummox

Clouded Yellow
by Kronos Quartet & Michael Gordon

supported by 7 fans who also own “Oculus”

I don't need every Kronos performance to be one that shakes me to my essence, but I do always want them to be interesting. Kronos has been my gateway to discovering a lot of composers I never knew of before, so this one is worth checking out. Richard Weems
