About
Ambient duo Worst Night Ever performs Burned by Stars – a transportive, multi-layered soundscape inspired by the wonder and the horror of deep space, the threat of extreme weather, and the hyper-local sounds of NYC and the North Fork. With a mood that oscillates from dread to lightness, it incorporates synth, modular sound, NASA samples, night sounds from Peconic, and field recordings of NYC street cleaning trucks and trashed pianos. This album release event will also feature original light and projection art, and a guided meditation accompanied by the first sound recording of an earthquake on Mars.
The Orionid Meteor shower will also be on view during this outdoor performance, weather permitting, and visible to the naked eye. The Orionids, which peak during mid-October, are considered to be one of the most beautiful showers of the year and originate from Comet Halley.
Following the concert, guests can stay to continue viewing the Orionid Meteor shower on our lawn. Observatory staff will also be providing guided tours of night sky objects (weather permitting) through the many telescopes on site, including the apochromatic Zerochromat telescope in our historic observation dome.
Please bring a blanket or chair to enjoy this outdoor presentation.
