On March 24 of last year, Rob Mazurek’s Exploding Star Orchestra used Chicago’s Adler Planetarium as a launch pad for a multimedia spectacle that broadcast a transcendental message to the cosmos. This video documents this singular performance, which featured original images by Mazurek projected onto the planetarium’s domed ceiling and the Orchestra’s hypnotic interpretations of music from the most recent Exploding Star Orchestra album, Lightning Dreamers.
Composed and arranged by Rob Mazurek, Alien Flower Sutra is the apogee of a collaborative conceptual process that bloomed over multiple years, voices and instrumentations.
