"Composer Steve Horelick presents an evening of conversation and live performance centered on the creation of the iconic Reading Rainbow theme song, 'Butterfly in the Sky.' While Steve composed the music for all 155 episodes of the PBS series Reading Rainbow, this presentation focuses specifically on the theme—its origins, structure, and the role Buchla instruments played in shaping its sound. Steve will break down his compositional process and share insights into how the piece evolved from early electronic sketches into one of the most recognizable themes in children’s television.
The talk will be followed by a quadraphonic, live improvised performance using Steve’s Buchla Easel and 200e Skylab systems. Before performing, Steve will walk the audience through his setup and discuss how he integrates classic Buchla modules with modern digital tools, including contemporary DAW workflows. Video projections by PYXL8R will accompany Steve's performance.
There is no registration fee but donations are encouraged and gratefully received."
