Planetary is a solo accordion recital that explores how sound and the cosmos can reflect one another. Through five contemporary works, the program moves across different celestial ideas, using texture, colour, and extended techniques to suggest shifting energies in space. The performance expands through a collaboration with experimental animator Jacob Eason, who creates live visuals using looping animations that respond to the music’s rhythm and flow. His improvisatory approach brings each piece to life with light, motion, and evolving patterns. Together, the music and visuals form an immersive, imaginative experience that blends experimental sound with cosmic-inspired visual art.
