- **Event Description**: “Meditations on Perihelion” is an immersive presentation featuring full-dome video partnered with live and recorded music by Tom Luther. The work is presented in seven movements that explore the different possibilities of connections between science and art.

The music and video are informed and inspired by astronomical data and are intended as a starting point for the audience’s imagination. The focus of this iteration has been on the three background cycles (Milankovitch Cycles) that govern our planet’s orbital alignment and seasonal changes.

Tom Luther is a performer, composer, improviser and audio-visual artist. His work ranges from solo and small group acoustic music to computer-based interactive video projects. He draws on his experience in Western European art music, jazz, and modern composition styles to create a unique hybrid language. His work is an exploration of the connections between ideas and the balance between mapped structure and improvisational choice.

Past projects include a jazz quintet and solo electronic performances. His recorded work is available through Bandcamp, Apple Music, and Amazon. He teaches piano, composition, and digital music at Midcoast Music Academy in Rockport, Maine. He can be found online at tomlutherpiano.com, LinkedIn, and Youtube.
