He doesn’t press play. He builds the music right in front of you. 🎶

For nearly 15 years, John Allen has been pushing the possibilities of live looping, layering sounds in real time to create performances that feel much bigger than one musician. For Stardust, he brings that same approach to our Dome theater, creating an improvised score as stunning 360° space imagery surrounds you.

Experience Stardust November 5–8 at Exploration Place: https://exploration.org/event/stardust/
