On the occasion of Groundswell 2015 WGXC is pleased to present a broadcast of Quintron's Weather Warlock installation and culminating performance.

Quintron’s Weather Warlock is a weather-based sound installation and instrument. A large analog synthesizer, Weather Warlock employs sun, rain, wind, temperature, moon, and lightning to affect an E major drone chord with special sonic events occurring as the sun transitions across the sky.

At Groundswell, Weather Warlock is installed throughout the duration of the event, experienced by attendees as a generative sound installation that responds to the site-specific weather conditions at Olana. At 4 p.m., as the culminating event at Groundswell, Weather Warlock becomes a live instrument. Quintron begins to manipulate the controls; and is joined by a group of collaborating artists/musicians for improvisation in tandem with the sounds of the sun, which is at its zenith at Latitude: 1° 26' North, Longitude: 61° 32' West.

Weather Warlock: Sunset Waits For No Man participating artists include Quintron (guitar and Weather Warlock synth), Gary Wrong (guitar and electronics), Aaron Hill (drums), and two or more guest local musicians whose names will be disclosed on the day of the performance.
