Sonic Butterfly, www.sonicbutterfly.com, is a two octave, acoustic, chromatic, long-string harp created and performed by acclaimed musician and installation artist, Andrea Brook. The strings are at minimum 60ft long and span out over the audience, transforming indoor and outdoor theaters, buildings, and gardens into a stunning immersive musical instrument. Sonic Butterfly creates rich longitudinal vibrations with ascending overtones, “it’s like being inside YoYo Ma’s cello.” The 2 resonating chambers have butterfly-shaped projection screen or LED wings adding to the visual, musical experience.

Sonic Butterfly has transformed architecture and natural environments around the world into large-scale immersive musical instruments since 2013, including the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, the Atlanta Motor Speedway, a cathedral in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, downtown Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands.
