Sollus Trio

A solar-acoustic trio from Kansas City which emphasizes the universal language of waveforms through long-tone, solar-inspired compositions. Their primary performance is a long-tone composition based upon the orbital patterns of our solar system’s celestial bodies and is played using solar-powered instruments built by Rev. Bradley. Eight solar-powered, dual-tone drones (each tuned to and representing a single planet in our system) will act as a tonal cluster suspended throughout the entirety of the piece, upon which the trio will layer a perpetual canon played using solar-vessel flutes. As the trio’s minimalistic round continues, the players allow themselves to progressively slip atop one another, thickening the already present tonal field. An opaque cloud of drones, climatically swaying and modulating with the sun, fills the soundscape, alerting us to the presence of our planet’s relationship to its life-source.
