Composer Steve Horelick presents an engaging evening of conversation and live performance exploring the creation of the iconic Reading Rainbow theme, “Butterfly in the Sky.” Focusing on the theme’s origins and evolution, Steve shares how Buchla instruments shaped its sound and takes the audience inside his compositional process—from early electronic sketches to a lasting cultural touchstone. The evening concludes with a quadraphonic, live improvised performance on his Buchla Easel and 200e Skylab systems, preceded by a brief look at his setup and how he blends classic modular synthesis with modern digital tools.
