<div>Inspired by optical phenomena occurring while viewing the color panels of abstract painter Blinky Palermo, Byron Westbrook's <em>Translucents</em> explores the concept of "audio after-image". The work presents a series of audio scenes, with the intention of imprinting on the listener's mind in order to influence the way each consecutive scene appears. It is a play with memory, presence, and with time, experimenting with dynamics between perceiving presence in the space where one is listening vs the perception of an external space or place. For this concert, <em>Translucents</em> is presented in an expanded immersive form that differs from its published release. </div>
