One of the most acclaimed guitarists today blends music and technology with the wild and wonderful world of bugs!
This new concert for young audiences incorporates Kaki King’s signature guitar, projection mapping, and drum-triggered effects into a fun exploration of bugs, beetles, critters, and all things sugar. Audiences will experience magically synched visuals, emotionally rich music, playful effects, as well as audio samples and multiple kinds of insect sounds from field recordings in nature. This interactive performance encourages audiences to participate -they will be invited to shout out to their favorite bug, dance like one of the insects jiggling around on the guitar, and embrace their curiosity about the world around us. The result? An enchanting concert that combines music, light, and imagery to encourage children to think about nature, ecology, and the animal kingdom.
