February’s Song continues my investigations into the theme of regeneration. The title refers to a hidden growth, present even in the dead of winter or dark of night. Within this chandelier like form I have substituted song for light, paying homage to what must have been the first symphony. To help choreograph these tiny motorized wind instruments, I overlaid a spiral form on a grid to determine the individual time sequencing of each of the 12 bird’s performances that builds together naturally to the crescendo, thereby echoing the sudden, abrupt and unexplained silencing that often occurs when birds gather and sing in a tree.
