Rob Byrd - Live Ambient Guitar Performance
Anne-Marie Byrd - Visual Presentation
Southworth Planetarium | University of Southern Maine
Portland, Maine | September 24th, 2022
This was Rob's 8th performance at the Southworth Planetarium and the second that Anne-Marie has provided visuals for. The initial idea stemmed from Rob's latest album "What The Ocean Is Like At Night" and evolved into an exploration of the ancient knowledge across many cultures that life sprang from the primordial waters.
Images of the cosmos, esoteric designs, ancient temples and natural aquatic wonders here on earth blended into each other in slowly morphing visuals accompanied by interspersed text. These complemented the dreamy, ambient tones from Rob's guitar in this 45 minutes presentation.
The presentation ended with a rotating, full dome star projection.
