Prepare to embark on a dynamic journey of striking visualizations
accompanied by live, New Age instrumental music from NOUVEAU PAPILLON.
Visionsphere’s portals will transport you through eleven immersive
voyages: you’ll witness angels gliding through the heavens,
experience a panoramic exploration of deep caves, gaze upon fractal
art and steampunk images, then enter the mystical realm of the wolf
and other wildlife and nature indigenous to Arizona. As each
experience concludes, a porthole will appear to guide you to the next
destination; as a new song begins, the visuals align with the spirit
of the music being performed.
This innovative experience is presented by international recording
artists, Nouveau Papillon, whose live performance in the MCC
Planetarium will include music from their current and upcoming albums.
Mark Bensette Aux Bois, on electric harp and 6 & 12-string
acoustic/electric guitars, and Hildi Thelen, on Native American-style
flutes, create a unique presentation as the music is synchronized with
the visual images on the planetarium dome. Also adding to the
ambiance, the perimeter of the dome is lighted with changing hues in
accord with each selection.
This presentation was designed specifically for the Evans & Sutherland
Digistar 6 planetarium system, and programmed by Dr. Kevin Healy, MCC
Planetarium Director, and produced by the Nouveau Papillon design
team, headed by Ed Capps.
