Music Of The Sun (MOTS) is a solar and bicycle powered outdoor improvisational ambient music series directed toward metro area park and trail system users. Twice a month from May 2011 to Sept. 2011 The Eclectic Ensemble will load a full-range PA system and instruments into custom-built bicycle trailers and pedal to the metro area parks and bike trails to perform free to the public. Performances happen at any time during daylight hours, last 45 to 90 minuets, and occur on any day of the week. The concept behind MOTS is to be a spontaneous, flexible, and accessible outlet for The Eclectic Ensemble that brings us to new audiences in an ideal setting for our music.Our music combines bass guitar, electric guitar, programmed synth, Violin, a custom dulcimer, various bells and chimes, hand drums, and field recordings (market places, parties, ocean surf, etc.) into a surreal instrumental sound scape that tantalizes the listener’s imagination.
